timely article

It's nice at least somebody is talking about uniform civil law. Anytime somebody speaks on this, he or she is called anti-muslim. That is wrong. Topics like these should often be debated. Laws should be there to lead life peacefully and happily and what the majority (not religion-wise) of us find to be just to everyone. For this to happen efficiently, they have to be constantly reformed keeping in tune with the times we live in. And they have to be reformed by the people we believe in after debates. A uniform civil law helps achieve these objectives in a less complex manner. Then the next task is how do you implement it. If a uniform civil law does not bring happiness to the majority within the minority then it is of no use. So the govt should frame the law first, ask people to volunteer to accept it, once in their lifetime, to avoid admin issues, ensure sufficient benefits to people who accept it. In due course of time, society itself will decide whether uniform civil code is good or bad. What's required is people should have freedom of options, the bureacrats should have all the headache associated with that freedom.
