News of the Day

RSS-affiliated think tank readies Uniform Civil Code drafts (Relevant for GS Prelims and Mains Paper II)

The India Policy Foundation (IPF) headed by RSS ideologue Rakesh Sinha has also been holding consultations since 2012, and has come up with drafts of a UCC.
Issues in drafting UCC:

Three issues which are non-uniform in personal laws — marriage, divorce and succession. Earlier, adoption too was in this list, but after the Juvenile Justice Act, it is now not religion-specific.

Controversy over RSS follower heading India Policy Foundation:

It is alleged that Rakesh Sinha has interest in promotion of Hindu religion and UCC may give importance to hindu practices and specially suppress religious freedom of muslims.

What is India Policy Foundation?

India Policy Foundation (IPF) is a non-profit research institute and a registered trust, based in New Delhi. It is an autonomous institute guided by an academic council comprising eminent scholars and intellectuals from a wide cross-section of the Indian society. The IPF is currently headed by Honorary Director, Prof. Rakesh Sinha, a prominent political scientist and professor of Delhi University.
What is UCC?
Uniform civil code is the proposal to replace the personal laws based on the scriptures and customs of each major religious community in India with a common set governing every citizen. These laws are distinguished from public law and cover marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption and maintenance.
Article 44 of the Directive Principles in India sets its implementation as duty of the State. In contemporary politics, the Bharatiya Janta Party and the Left support it while the Congress Party and All India Muslim Personal Law Board oppose it.
Goa has a common family law, thus being the only Indian state to have a uniform civil code. The Special Marriage Act, 1954 permits any citizen to have a civil marriage outside the realm of any specific religious personal law.
