Look, I get the appeal of your argument. Equal outcomes for equal situations sounds clean and logical. But you're making a classic mistake here - confusing equality with uniformity. They're not the same thing. You say a UCC doesn't erase faith, but that's just not how human psychology works. When the state tells a community "your centuries-old marriage traditions are now invalid," you're not just changing laws. You're sending a message that their identity is second-class. People don't separate their religious practices from their legal rights that neatly. And your criminal code comparison? That's a false equivalence. Murder is universally condemned across religions. But marriage, inheritance, adoption - these are deeply tied to how communities define family, relationships, and obligations. You're comparing apples to tractors. The real issue here isn't fairness on paper. It's about what actually works in a diverse society. A uniform code applied to vastly different cultural contexts creates resentment and resistance. You end up with laws people don't follow or respect. That's not equality - that's just bad policy dressed up in principles.
