How will a country run then? Our Constitution, too, guarantees equal rights to all irrespective of religion caste and creed," PM Modi said.The Uniform Civil Code is a proposal in India to formulate and implement personal laws of citizens which apply to all citizens equally regardless of their religion, sex, gender and sexual orientation.Currently, the personal laws of various communities are governed by their religious scriptures.Also, on June 14, the Law Commission of India solicited the views and ideas of the public and recognised religious organisations to examine the Uniform Civil Code.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
