Why do religious organizations oppose the uniform code?


Advocate Anurag, who monitors constitutional matters, says that if the Uniform Civil Code is implemented, all religions will have to surrender their personal laws. Right now there are different rules for Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and Parsi communities.

Scholar Mrityunjay Shukla, who studies law at Siddharthnagar University, says that Muslims follow Shariat laws. The Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) application Act, of 1937 is their personal law, which is mostly based on Quran and Hadith. Islamic organizations do not accept any kind of legal interference in their religious laws. In such a situation, he constantly opposes it.

Supreme court advocate vishal Arun Mishra says that the Muslim marriage Dissolution Act, of 1939 states that a Muslim man is allowed to marry 4 times without the consent of the first wife. If the Uniform Civil Code is implemented, then like other religions, Muslim men can also be fined and jailed for practising polygamy.

'BJP's intention is bad, the committee will go home after elections', arvind kejriwal said on Uniform Civil Code. Advocate anand Mishra, a member of the Siddharthnagar Bar Association, says, "The government has taken tough steps regarding evil practices like triple talaq, halala and polygamy. Sharia law allows them, but these laws are also wrong from the point of view of human rights. They need to be abolished immediately. If there is a need to abolish all discriminatory laws in the country. If Uniform Civil Code is implemented from a constitutional and legal point of view, then there will be nothing wrong with it. This is the demand of the present time.
