Hard code to crack
That gender justice is yet to be established in India is beyond doubt. Legislative action holds the key to this aim, like a Uniform Civil Code on family matters for followers of all religions. The risk is that another key in the shape of social adherence to faith might warp the legal one’s efficacy, perhaps even its legal wording. Most marriages in India go by the traditional norms of religion, with very few opting for the Special Marriages Act, an open-to-all provision of modern conception that’s used almost entirely for inter-faith weddings. To the extent its low adoption is a sign of religious belief, aligning the popular will, as represented by Parliament, with an ideal code that assures us gender equity on marital, divorce, inheritance and adoption rights, etc., may prove fraught with dissonance.
