flag Supreme Court urges legislative action on Uniform Civil Code, citing gender inequality in Muslim inheritance laws.

flag The Supreme Court on March 10, 2026, emphasized the need for a Uniform Civil Code, calling a petition challenging discriminatory Muslim inheritance laws a strong case for reform. flag While acknowledging gender inequality in the 1937 Shariat Act, the court deferred action to the legislature, warning that striking down the law without a replacement could create a legal vacuum and harm Muslim women’s rights. flag The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, stressed that enacting a UCC aligns with constitutional principles and should be done through legislative action, not judicial intervention. flag The case remains pending, with further hearings expected.
