Why this matters

The Uniform Civil Code is a long-standing promise of the BJP, aiming to replace personal laws based on religion with a common set of laws governing marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption. Its implementation could significantly alter the legal landscape for various religious communities in India, particularly Muslims, and is a key ideological plank for the ruling party.
