A Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a proposal to replace personal laws based on religious scriptures and customs with one universal set of laws governing areas like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption for all citizens, irrespective of their religion. Here are the reasons for the demand to revisit it, as raised by the Congress party: 1. Equality: UCC aims to ensure equality and non-discrimination among all citizens, irrespective of their religious beliefs. 2. Gender justice: By eliminating discriminatory practices, UCC seeks to provide equal rights to women in matters related to marriage, divorce, and inheritance. 3. Secularism: UCC promotes the idea of a secular nation where laws are not based on religious grounds and all citizens are treated equally under the law. 4. National integration: Implementing a UCC is seen as a step towards achieving national integration by promoting a common set of laws for all citizens. 5. Relevance: Existing personal laws are criticized for being outdated and inconsistent with modern values and principles. 6. Constitutional mandate: Article 44 of the Indian Constitution provides for a UCC, and revisiting the implementation of this provision is seen as a way to fulfill the constitutional mandate.
