this was the whole matter

When the court was hearing a divorce case, the question arose in front of it whether the decision on divorce should be given according to the Hindu Marriage Act or under the rules of the Meena tribe.

In this case, the husband wanted a divorce as per the Hindu Marriage Act, while the wife wanted her to come from the Meena tribe, then divorce accordingly as the Hindu Marriage Act does not apply to her. Therefore, she wanted that the divorce petition filed by the husband in the family court should be rejected. After this petition of the wife, the husband filed a petition against her argument in the High Court. The High Court allowed the appeal of the husband and felt the need to implement the Uniform Civil Code and said the above.
