The Law Commission has suggested significant changes in family and personal laws in India. The panel issued a consultation paper on reform of family laws in India, saying that Uniform Civil Code is not desirable at this stage. The panel was asked to examine matters in relation to Uniform Civil Code by the Law ministry in 2016. The panel came out with a consultation paper instead of a comprehensive report on the Uniform Civil Code due to time constraints. The consultation paper discuses introduction of new grounds for ‘no fault’ divorce, changes to provisions on alimony and maintenance and uncertainty and inequality in age of consent of marriage.
