India’s Only State With UCC | Uniform Civil Code

Описание: Uniform Civil Code: The 156-year-old, 647-page code cuts across religions and has laws that govern everything from gender equality in marriage to personal inheritance. Amid talk of a UCC for the country, the Goa code is being touted as a model. But how uniform is Goa’s Uniform Civil Code? What is the first thing that comes to mind when I say the word Goa? Now, you’re probably picturing your next vacation. But did you know Goa is also the only state in India with a Uniform Civil code for all religions? Goa is governed by something called the Portuguese Civil Code. This is a 156-year-old, 647-page code that was first enacted in Lisbon. The code also governs some other former Portuguese colonies like the UT’s of Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli. After its liberation in 1961, Goa decided to retain the Portuguese Civil Code. Now this code governs everything — from marriage to personal inheritance. But with the UCC debate gaining momentum, the 19th century law is now being closely scrutinised for how equal and uniform it is. Also, with the influx of migrants it is unclear how many of the 15-lakh local population are governed by the common Code.
