Uniform Civil Code

single civil code by eliminating the personal laws of
various groups.
All the developed countries of the west (for instance,
Britain, Germany, France, etc.) believe in and follow the
principle of a multi-culture nation. From tiny countries
such as Singapore to vast countries like the United
States, all are making progress by adopting this same
principle. The Soviet Union is perhaps the only country
where attempts were made at the state level to develop a
uni-culture nation. All kinds of state power were
employed to achieve this goal. But far from achieving
this goal, the Soviet Union itself disintegrated.
The truth is that uniformity in these matters has to do
with human history rather than with the law. If through
the historical process, a uniform culture comes into
existence in a society, a uniform code too will follow.
Legislation must follow upon and be in consonance with
natural trends.
