Why is a Uniform Civil Code considered essential for gender justice
Uttarakhand Assembly Speaker advocates for the necessity of a Uniform Civil Code for gender justice.
- Uniform Civil Code would ensure gender equality and justice by providing equal rights and opportunities to all citizens irrespective of their religion or background.
- It would eliminate discriminatory practices present in personal laws related to marriage, inheritance, divorce, and adoption, benefiting women who often face unequal treatment.
- UCP would lead to the standardization of laws governing familial relationships, reducing confusion and conflicts arising from different personal laws across communities.
- It would promote a sense of unity and secularism by treating all citizens equally under one common civil law system.
- By implementing a Uniform Civil Code, the government can tailor laws that address contemporary social realities and protect the interests of all individuals, particularly women.
