Changing Dynamics of Gender Biasness and Laws in India vis-a-vis Uniform Civil Code

Abstract	India is a multi-religious nation with male-centric laws since beginning, because of the patriarchal notion of the society. Due to existence of different religions, there are different personal laws governing them dealing with family and proprietary issues. These personal laws include the lawfully recognized customs, which are gender-bias, few of them got repealed with time while some still exist. One landmark example is the recent abolition of Triple Talaq issue, a totally male-centric heinous custom, taking away liberty of woman. Yet, there has been a minor improvement in gender equality in recent years. When it came to women's economic involvement and opportunities, health and survival, and rankings, it was still at the bottom. This indicates that women are still underrepresented in public spaces and that majority lack stable employment. Even while India has witnessed important rulings in recent years that promote greater gender equality, the key question remains: Have gender perceptions actually evolved in our nation? We need to understand the changes in Indian society's attitudes regarding traditional gender roles, types of opposition these changes may encounter, and what may be done to make these changes even more pronounced. Most personal laws are unwelcoming and inconsiderate to the requirements of women. Although the Indian Parliament has frequently worked to remove discriminatory provisions from personal legislation, yet there is still no fairness in how these civil rights are applied. For many years now, women have been the victims of countless crimes against humanity, social injustices, and cultural standards in the context of family, the workplace, and other spheres. The Uniform Civil Code, which would grant women equal rights and equitable treatment while removing long-standing conventions that are no longer relevant in today's society, is considered to be one of the key tactics for promoting gender equality in real sense.
