West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said the proposed Uniform Civil Code would be implemented in the state very soon, followed by strict legislation to prevent forced religious conversion. He made the announcement at a meeting in Bankura on Tuesday. The chief minister also indicated that new legal restrictions could be imposed on land purchases and sales among different communities.
Adhikari said the Uniform Civil Code would be introduced to advance the goal of “one country, one law.” Laws would then be drafted to regulate conversion and land transactions. He did not specify what restrictions the proposed land sale and purchase law would contain. The report said his comments on conversion and land were consistent with the Bharatiya Janata Party’s longstanding political position.
The proposed Uniform Civil Code envisages a common civil framework for marriage, divorce, inheritance, transfer of inherited property and adoption. Under the proposal, a general law would replace religion-based personal laws in these matters. Exemptions or special protections provided under the constitution for certain classes would remain in place, according to the report.
