Favouring the introduction of Uniform Civil Code (UCC), the Delhi High Court has said the Indian youth need not be forced to struggle with issues arising due to conflicts in various personal laws in relation to marriage and divorce.
The modern indian society was “gradually becoming homogenous, the traditional barriers of religion, community and caste are slowly dissipating” and thus Uniform Civil Code “ought not to remain a mere hope”, Justice Prathiba M Singh stated in an order dated july 7.
“The youth of India belonging to various communities, tribes, castes or religions who solemnise their marriages ought not to be forced to struggle with issues arising due to conflicts in various personal laws, especially in relation to marriage and divorce,” the order said.
