Why this matters

The Uniform Civil Code aims to replace diverse personal laws based on religion, bringing all citizens under a common set of laws for matters like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption. Its implementation in Gujarat would be a significant step towards a nationwide UCC, a long-standing objective of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
