    Commission suggests certain measures in marriage and divorce that should be uniformly accepted in the personal laws of all religions. KRISHNADAS RAJAGOPAL Illustration: Deepak Harichandan A uniform civil code “is neither necessary nor desirable at this stage” in the country, the Law Commission of India said on August 31. “By codification of different personal laws, one can arrive at certain universal principles that prioritise equity rather than imposition of a uniform code, which would discourage many from using the law altogether, given that matters of marriage and divorce can also be settled extra-judicially,” the Commission reasoned. The Commission suggested certain measures in marriage and divorce that should be uniformly accepted in the personal laws of all religions. These amendments in personal laws include fixing the marriageable age for boys and girls at 18 years so that they marry as equals, making adultery a ground for divorce for men and women and to simplify divorce procedure. The Comunission said the filing of Section 498A IPC (dowry harassment) cases was actually done by women wanting a quick exit from a difficult marriage. 'Nikahnamas should make it clear that polygamy is a criminal offence' Significantly, the Commission suggested that nikahnamas should make it clear that polygamy is a criminal offence and this should apply to “all communities”.
