Implement Uniform Civil Code in India
Sign Now
In Article 44 of Indian Constitution - our founding fathers wrote their dream of bringing whole of India under a common civil code and putting an end to a hodgepodge of religious laws. In 1985, India's Supreme Court recommended that the Indian lawmakers should consider legislating it.
The forward-looking laws (for its time) is now applied only to Hindus and non-religious (who come under Special Marriage Act) not other religious communities in India.
The common civil code is needed to enable the application of modern laws (such as abolishing polygamy) to all sections of Indian society and also create a common framework for progressive laws that all sections of Indian society can enjoy.
Whether we want to implement the full uniformity right now or not, we should set one basic principle:
All laws must treat men and women as equals. No religious law should be able to override this fundamental principle. That means polygamy, unfair inheritance and unfair divorce laws allowed for minority groups must go.
No citizen of India must be given any special privilige based on his/her religious belief. Indirectly fights vote-bank politics, by creating a unified civil law system which treats citizens the same regardless of religion.
