Bengal Forms High-Level Committee To Review Draft Uniform Civil Code Bill

The Indian government has established a high-level committee to review the draft Uniform Civil Code bill, which aims to create a uniform set of personal laws for all citizens. The formation of the committee was announced through a government notification, citing the bill's 'wide ramifications and voluminous nature' as reasons for the need for careful examination. The bill seeks to replace existing personal laws based on religion with a single legal framework governing matters such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance. This move has sparked debate over religious freedom, gender equality, and the role of the state in personal matters.
