Explanation using Example
Example 1:
Ravi and Priya, who belong to different religious communities, decide to get married. Under the current personal laws, they would have to choose between the Hindu Marriage Act, the Muslim Personal Law, or the Special Marriage Act, depending on their religious affiliations. However, if a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) were in place, they would follow a single set of laws applicable to all citizens, regardless of their religion. This would simplify the legal process and ensure that both parties are treated equally under the same legal framework.
Example 2:
Ayesha, a Muslim woman, wants to file for divorce from her husband. Under the current personal laws, she would have to follow the Muslim Personal Law, which has different provisions for divorce compared to other religions. If a Uniform Civil Code were implemented, Ayesha would follow the same divorce procedures as any other citizen, ensuring that her rights and obligations are consistent with those of women from other religious backgrounds. This would promote gender equality and reduce the complexity of navigating different personal laws.
