The Karnataka High Court urged Parliament and State legislatures to bring in a Uniform Civil Code. The Court stated that such a code would uphold justice for women and promote equality across all castes and religions. It emphasized the importance of individual dignity and fraternity. The suggestion aims to foster a more unified and fair legal framework for all citizens.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court rejected a plea for police protection for registering an interfaith marriage between a Muslim boy and a Hindu girl under the Special Marriage Act, citing that such unions are considered irregular under Mahomedan Law. Despite registration under the Act, the court emphasized the influence of personal religious laws in matters of marriage, applying a precedent regarding inheritance rights from a similar case. The court concluded that there was no justification for intervention in the matter.
