Abstract

After 68 years of independence and claiming that India is a secular country, can help combat the misuse of personal laws for selfish purposes. From time to time Courts as well as politicians have laid the importance of the Uniform Civil Code but none of them has able to influence the law makers or the Legislative Assembly who is empowered to make laws regarding the same. Uniform Civil Code will not only ensure that there will be no person hiding behind the veil of religion and misusing personal laws for exploitation of women.It is interesting to note that in Goa there is Goa Civil Code, which is a uniform civil code in itself. It is followed since Portuguese time. Although there were chances to revoke the old law after the departure of Portugal but locals raised the voice against that decision. This is an indication that people are willing to accept uniform code regardless of religion
