What is the Video about?
To give you a brief, UCC is a proposal in India that is aimed at replacing personal laws based on religions, customs, and traditions with one common law for everyone irrespective of religion, cast, creed, sexual orientation, and gender.
This means that existing personal laws based on religion like the Hindu marriage act (1955), the Hindu succession act (1956), and the Muslim personal law application act (1937), will technically be dissolved. After Triple Talaq being declared Unconstitutional, other practices like Polygamy, Nikah Halala etc have been debatable and against Fundamental Rights of an individual.
Given the debate around the topic I have tried to explain the concept and its consequences inside-out.
From the history of personal laws to the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code, this video discusses everything and in an easy to understand manner.
