Not only this, a bigger problem will arise regarding the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) community. It will not be easy to decide what will be the provisions in UCC for them.
What will happen to the children after marriage?

Who will be the husband and who will be the wife, how it will be determined in the law, it will be necessary because there are problems in the distribution of property after the absence of the parents. Even now it comes in both Hindu law and Muslim law. That is why there is always a need for amendment in the law.
