SC sees Uniform Civil Code as solution to Sharia law’s bias against Muslim women

The Supreme Court has suggested that the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) could address perceived inequities within Sharia law pertaining to the inheritance rights of Muslim women. The Court’s comments indicate a belief that a UCC may serve as a means to enhance legal protections for women under Islamic law. This discussion is centered around Article 44 of the Indian Constitution, which advocates for the establishment of a UCC to provide equal rights and protections to all citizens, regardless of their religious affiliations.
