Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently pushed for a uniform civil code in India, stating that the country can’t have different laws for its people even as the Constitution speaks of equal rights. A uniform civil code or UCC would mean one law to govern personal matters such as marriage, divorce, adoption and inheritance. India currently has different personal laws for each religious community.

Those pushing for UCC say it would bring about gender equality as many of the provisions across India’s personal laws are discriminatory towards women. But given the BJP’s track record with minorities, is a progressive uniform civil code possible and what would a draft of such a UCC look like? The News Minute’s Anna Isaac breaks it down in this week’s episode of Let Me Explain.
