[Reader-list] universal civil code

[A.K. Malik]

Dear Mr Tara Prakash, 
                      There are three distinct marriage act-Hindu Marriage Act,1955; Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act (perhaps 1938 or so), Christian Marriage Act. However there is a Special Marriage Act for any citizen getting married in Court by The Registrar of Marriages who is usually a designated Judicial Officer from the State Judicial Service.This requires giving one month's notice so that anyone having objection can intervene.
Another thing being talked about is UNIFORM CIVIL CODE which the BJP is advocating so that the same laws apply to people of all religions in the country.
Regards,

(A.K.MALIK)
