1. Muslim bodies opposing the Law Commission's suggestion of Uniform Civil Code imply that they want to preserve their religious customs and practices without any interference from the state. 2. The central argument of Muslim bodies is that the Uniform Civil Code is not compatible with the diverse cultural and religious identities of India. 3. Muslim bodies consider the Law Commission's proposal of Uniform Civil Code as 'against the spirit of the Constitution' because it undermines the principles of secularism and equal treatment for all religions. 4. The Muslim community fears that a Uniform Civil Code would lead to the loss of their identity, culture and traditions. 5. Muslim bodies believe that personal laws, which allow religious communities to govern their affairs, should be preserved as they are fundamental to the protection of minority rights. 6. The opposition to Uniform Civil Code from Muslim bodies may increase communal tensions, political polarization and hinder the progress of social reforms in the country. 7. It is important to ensure that any legal reforms are done in consultation with all communities and that the rights of minorities are protected. A balanced approach is required to address the issue of Uniform Civil Code.
