-
Feminists movements first welcomed the idea of a Uniform Civil Code. But as right-wingers hijacked the proposal, they retracted and called for reforms in personal laws instead
The proposed Uniform Civil Code is part of a patriarchal Hindu nationalist agenda to give community land to corporates in the name of women’s rights

What we need is a UCC that is acceptable to all sections of society, gender and communities
India, with its incredible religious and cultural diversity, could benefit from a Uniform Civil Code. How urgent is our need for the same?
It is crucial to look at how millions of indigenous people would be affected if Uniform Civil Code gets implemented
The UCC is not a bad idea as such. But in a pluri-national and multi-religious nation like India, it may not be the best option
The argument for a Uniform Civil Code in Karnataka has polarised voters along religious lines
The Christian community feels that a Uniform Civil Code will interfere with its personal laws, especially when it comes to divorce
