[Reader-list] universal civil code

[A.K. Malik]

Hi Mr Uppinaangadi,
                   Thanks for updating.To the best of my knowledge, the Christian Marriage Act had been repealed but The Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act, 1939 had only certain sections repealed and then there were some amendments after the famous Shah Bano case.In case I get a chance I will check up and update, though it doesn't matter much in so far as the discussion is concerned.
With best regards,

(A.K.MALIK)
