Minority Rights: Uniform Civil Code

The Constitution of India guarantees equality, non-discrimination, and religious freedom for minorities. These rights are touched upon by the dispute over the Uniform Civil Code(UCC),which leads to conversations on equality,secularism,and cultural diversity.The importance of UCC in advancing gender justice and legal parity has been underlined by the Supreme Court. Important rulings like Sarla Mudgal v. Union of India (1995) and Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum (1985) has emphasized the necessity of a UCC to handle exploitation and contradictions in personal laws.
