BJP MLA Hrahmo has called for the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code in Mizoram, arguing it would safeguard the rights and protection of tribal women in the state.
BJP MLA Hrahmo has publicly called for the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Mizoram, positioning the demand as a measure to protect tribal women in the state. The legislator argued that a uniform legal framework would help safeguard the rights and interests of women belonging to tribal communities.
Hrahmo's appeal comes amid ongoing national debates over the UCC, which seeks to replace personal laws based on religious and community customs with a common set of rules governing marriage, divorce, inheritance and related matters. In Mizoram, where tribal customary laws hold significant influence, the proposal is likely to generate discussion among political and community groups.
The BJP MLA emphasised that the protection of tribal women should be a priority and that the UCC could address legal gaps that currently leave them vulnerable. The demand adds a new dimension to the conversation around uniform civil laws in the Northeast, where tribal autonomy and customary practices remain sensitive issues.
