AIMPLB rejects Law Commission’s proposal to seek views on UCC

The Hindu  

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board on July 5 “registered its objections” to the Law Commission’s decision to seek “views and ideas on Uniform Civil Code”. “Muslims in India will not be agreeable to lose their identity,” the Board reiterated, adding, “Majoritarian morality must not supersede personal laws, religious freedom and minority rights in the name of a code which remains an enigma.” ‘Already rejected’ The Board also noted that the issue had been raised and dealt with just a few years ago, when the Commission had rejected the idea of a UCC for the next decade. Muslims in India will not be agreeable to lose this identity for which there is space within the Constitutional framework of our country,” said Mr Ilyas, adding, “National integrity, safety and security and fraternity is best preserved if we maintain the diversity of our country by permitting minorities and tribal communities to be governed by their personal laws.” ‘Pluralist ethos’ The AIMLB representation highlighted the pluralist ethos of the country, discussing in detail the principles of secularism, gender justice and equality. It is relevant to remember the clarification of Dr Ambedkar at the end of the debate: ‘It is perfectly possible that the future Parliament may make a provision by way of making a beginning that the Code shall apply only to those who make a declaration that they are prepared to be bound by it, so that in the initial stage the application of the Code may be purely voluntary’,” the AIMPLB representation said.
