  • Information

    What is the uniform civil code?

  • In India, different personal laws (property, marriage and divorce, inheritance and succession) exist for Hindus and Muslims. The implementation of a uniform civil code will mean common personal laws for all the citizens of this country, irrespective of religion and gender.

    What will the uniform civil code do?
  • In the 1950s, modernization of the Hindu Law took place, but colonial-era laws for Catholics and Muslims went unchanged.

    By abolishing personal laws, the uniform civil code will eliminate gender biases in the Hindu Law, Catholic Law and Muslim Law that challenge the right to equality.

    Practices suppressing the empowerment of women such as Polygamy and Triple Talaaq would be abolished for good.

    The Shah Bano case (1985): Starting the debate

  • Shah Bano was a Muslim woman who was divorced by her husband. She filed maintenance claims against him in the Supreme Court and won. However, the Rajiv Gandhi government passed the Muslim Women Act 1986, which denied divorced Muslim women settlement claims in court.

    This provision falls under the Directive Principles of State Policy, meaning no court can enforce this law upon the citizens.

    At the same time, Article 37 bounds the government by duty to apply these principles in making laws.
