Uniform Civil Code: 5 Myths & Stereotypes around UCC That Fearmongers Will Have You Believe - News18

News 18  

In this special series around the Uniform Civil Code, we present to you an in-depth dive into the subject. Diversity and freedom to practise one’s religion are cited as the key grounds against the idea of a Uniform Civil Code. Uniform Civil Code will adversely affect cultural diversity is a myth: India is vastly diverse in languages, food, customs, festivals, clothes, and much more. Any individual or group preaching that the Uniform Civil Code shall implement the law of the majority on the minority communities is spreading misinformation and falsehoods. A Nikah, Saat Phere, or a Church wedding will not be dislodged by the Uniform Civil Code: In Western democracies, where there are no personal laws, a common civil code governs all citizens.
