💨 Abstract

The Gujarat government has formed a committee to draft a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), following Uttarakhand's lead. The UCC aims to address gender inequality in family laws, but is a contentious issue due to religious divisions. Proposed in the 1940s but abandoned due to opposition, the UCC was included in the Constitution as a directive principle.
