Asaduddin Owaisi, president of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), criticized the recently introduced Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill in Assam, labeling it a "backdoor imposition" of Hindu law on Muslims. He contended that the Bill, which aims to ban polygamy and enforce compulsory registration of live-in relationships, primarily protects Hindu cultural norms while disregarding Muslim rights. Owaisi pointed out that the Bill exempts Scheduled Tribes, arguing that this selective application undermines the concept of uniformity. He expressed concerns over the Bill's implications for Islamic inheritance laws, stating that it allows individuals to write wills that could exclude daughters from their rightful inheritance, contradicting Islamic principles. Owaisi further remarked that the UCC does not reflect the intentions of the constituent assembly, which did not envision a mandatory UCC. He called for a more equitable approach that respects the cultural autonomy of all communities in Assam.
