Supreme Court asks Government to come clear on Uniform Civil Code to avoid confusion

The Apex court of India has asked Central government about its stand on Uniform Civil Code and whether they are willing to introduce it in near future so that confusion on it comes to an end. The Government got three weeks to come up with the proposal to amend any personal laws with regard to Divorce act and others. Bech comprises of Justice Vikramjit Singh and Justice Shiva Kirti Singh has asked the government to clarify its stand on framing of Uniform Civil Code so that same standard would be applied on every citizen belonging to different religions. The Bench was hearing the petition put up by a Delhi based man which challenges the legal provision for Christian couples to wait at least for two years for divorce whereas this separation period is only one year in case of Hindu marriage Act and Special Marriage Act.
