The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill passed by the Gujarat Assembly has been slammed by AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who terms it "unconstitutional" and a violation of Muslim rights. Owaisi argues that the Bill infringes upon Article 25 of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion .
Key Concerns with the UCC Bill.
Imposition of Hindu Succession Act: Owaisi claims the Bill imposes Hindu Succession Act on Muslims, undermining their personal laws.
Divorce and Adultery: The Bill requires proof of adultery for divorce, which Owaisi says is part of Hindu religion and not applicable to Muslims.
Live-in Relationships: Owaisi criticizes provisions on live-in relationships, saying they undermine marriage sanctity and are against Islam
Constitutional and Legal Implications.
Owaisi argues the UCC is a directive principle (Article 44) and not a fundamental right. He cites Babasaheb Ambedkar, stating the code should apply only to those who voluntarily agree .
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) also opposes the Bill, vowing to challenge it in the Gujarat High Court, citing concerns over religious freedom and equality .
