Uniform civil code: Vidyadhar Prabhudesai on the Frontline
As an adoptive parent, I am sharing my views on the necessity of a UCC from the perspective of adoption (Cover Story, July 28). Currently, there are different adoption laws for different religions. A UCC would provide a single set of adoption laws for all citizens. It would help increase social acceptance of and reduce the stigma associated with adoption. There is some opposition to the idea of a UCC, but the benefits for adoption outweigh the challenges.
