Delhi HC Calls for UCC to Resolve Legal Conflicts

Delhi HC Calls for UCC to Resolve Legal Conflicts

The Delhi High Court is wondering if India needs one set of laws for everyone, called a Uniform Civil Code.

Right now, different religions have their own rules.

This can cause problems, like when someone is accused of breaking a law while following their religious customs, like marrying at a young age.

A judge was looking at a case where a man married a girl who may have been a minor.

The court wants to make sure children are protected but also respect different religions.

They suggest that the government needs to decide how to balance these things.
