Muslim backwardness is often attributed to the religion's personal law. However, several Muslim countries have made radical changes in Muslim law but they are still backward.
Arguments in favor: It will lead to national integration and draw minorities into the mainstream, encourage communal harmony and work towards improving the status of women. But the question is whether the Hindu law reformation has resulted in the upliftment of Hindu women? In the absence of a blueprint (content of UCC), ignorance over the matter is being used by fundamentalists to spread rumors. The Muslim law has been reformed in several countries. Muslims in India should realise that inspite of uniform family laws in the West, Islam is growing at a very fast pace. Thus a UCC is not a great threat to the religion as it is perceived by many.
