Respected Counsel please advise on how the central governments application of Uniform civil code to Christians will affect Christian marriage laws in regards to property owned by both spouses, future inheritance, streedhana and whether wife is liable to pay maintenance to husband as per HMA 24 if the new amendment comes into effect.

The UCC is not in place.It is not as if the Hindu law will be the UCC. Too early to discuss this issue.

Uniform civil code in India is the debate to replace the personal laws based on the scriptures and customs of each major religious community in the country with a common set governing every citizen. These laws are distinguished from public law and cover marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption and maintenance.Still in the early stages of discussions and debates,if accepted by one and all could take a long long time.
