SURVEY ON
ACCEPTANCE IN INDIA

MAJUMDER
To
understand what the Muslim women think of the provisions that are likely to be
at the core of a UCC,
SCC=SECULAR CIVIL CODE , a word
coined by P.M. in his address on 15th August from LAL QILLA, 884 reporters from the News18 network interviewed 8,035 Muslim
women across 25 states and Union Territories (then UCC only). It was not a poll
done on social media. Every participant was personally reached by a reporter.
The
respondents represented a cross-section of female Muslims across different
demographics. The survey participants included those 18 years and above to
those upto 65 years of age. Right from the illiterate to the post-graduate, the
survey captured a wide educational diversity.
Saudi
Arabia, the birthplace and seat of Islam, has embarked on a Hadith
documentation project ordered by Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman.
Many
educated, modern Islamic Countries may join hands.
Here
are some astounding statistics from that survey in INDIA:
- 71% of Muslim women
said that Muslim men should not be allowed to marry 4 women.
- 78% of women want equal
rights in inheriting their parents' properties.
- 69% of them want equal
rights for men and women with marrying after divorce
- 62% want equal rights
for men and women with respect to adopting children.
- 67% of the women want
the right to give their property as free will to anyone.
- A staggering 74% of
Muslim women want the marriage age to be fixed for both men and women at
21 years.
Nehru
wanted India to accommodate Muslims and gave them special right, even if it
means adapting to medieval laws. In subsequent cases DYNASTY modified that. This survey on UCC is telling that these laws
don't have any place in modern, educated India.
