Indian government pushes for wider civil code rollout despite Muslim concerns
Asia-Pacific2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported24m ago
India's Home Minister, Amit Shah, has announced plans to expand the implementation of a common civil code across states governed by the ruling Hindu nationalist party. The proposed policy has been described as contentious, with officials signaling a commitment to its wider rollout despite ongoing debate regarding its impact on the country's legal and social landscape.
The initiative is set to affect India, the world's most populous nation, which is home to a Hindu majority and an estimated 220 million Muslims. The push for a uniform code has generated significant concern among the Muslim minority population, who view the potential changes as a point of friction within the current political climate.
