During the 1990s, the idea of a Uniform Civil Code was (1) criticized bywomen's groups who feared the unspoken (2) of the Hindu Right inadvocating it. An influential (3) of argument questioned public perceptionsand assumptions about personal law, namely: Hindu personal law has beensuccessfully reformed; in sharp contrast, Muslim law remains uncodifiedand imposes the worst (4) on Muslim women; therefore, Hindu personal lawshould be made the basis for a UCC. There was much to be questioned insuch assumptions. For instance, it was pointed out that, historically, Muslimpersonal law was way ahead of its Hindu counterpart since marriage wasunderstood to be a contract between individuals with built-in provision for
divorce, while Hindu law (5) within notions of (6), the absence of personhood for Hindu wives,
the vagaries of the Hindu Undivided Family, and so on. Much was made of a Census study on marriage and polygamy (which had been cited in the famous 'Towards Equality' report of 1974 on the status of Indian women) which showed that the incidence of polygamy (usually bigamy) was in fact greater among Hindus than Muslims. Moreover, such wives had no rights under the reformed Hindu law, unlike the rights available to Muslim women under polygamy. Now that we are once again faced with the (7) of a UCC being foisted on us, this represents an opportunity to take stock from where we are today. We believe that there are three main lessons to be learnt from our recent past. First, we must stop making (8) comparisons between Muslim and Hindu women. Having studied the comparative data on polygamy that continue to be cited, we noticed the following. One, the data come from a special sample survey conducted by the Census of India in 1960 of one lakh women, which is (9) acknowledged to be a non-representative sample — that is, it may be suggestive, but cannot stand for entities like India, Hindu women or Muslim women. Two, the survey includes women who were married between 1940 and 1960 - which means that 15 of these 20 years were prior to the enactment in 1955 of the Hindu Code Bill that (10) polygamy. And three, the overall incidence of polygamy reported for Hindu and Muslim women is 5.7 percent and 5.6 percent, respectively. In short, these data do not prove that there was more bigamy among Hindu women than Muslim women even in 1960, let alone in more recent times. During the 1990s, the idea of a Uniform Civil Code was (1) criticized by women's groups who feared the unspoken (2) of the Hindu Right in advocating it.
