The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) bill, which Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami introduced in the state assembly on Tuesday, has caused a major political upheaval throughout the nation. The Congress has expressed great frustration about the potential adoption of the Bill, to which the opposition parties have responded with reservations. Let’s first explore the question of WHAT IS UCC before delving into the reasons the opposition is afraid of it. With the goal of “one country, one rule,” a uniform civil code is a body of legislation that regulates all individuals’ personal affairs, regardless of their religion. These topics include marriage, divorce, adoption, inheritance, and succession. The UCC seeks to supersede the various personal laws already in force, which differ according to religious affiliations.OPPN: WHY IS SHE AFRAID OF UCC?
