Question 6

Direction: In the following passage there are blanks each of which has been numbered. These numbers are printed below the pas-sage and against each, five words/phrases are suggested, one of which fits the blank appropriately.

Muslim Personal Law is already modern in the sense, that it has enshrined the individual rights to property since the 1930s, unlike Hindu law, in which the family’s natural condition is (6) to be “joint”. In the decades of the 1930s and 1940s, contrary to later discourses about Muslim law being 'backward', it was the Hindu law that was (7) “backward” and needed to be brought into the modern world of individual property rights. Also, the Muslim marriage as a contract protects women better in case of a divorce than the Hindu marriages. All marriages are considered as a (8), along with being a civil contract. Mehr, in Muslim Personal Law, is paid by the husband’s family to the wife upon marriage, is the (9) property of the wife and it is hers upon divorce, offering her a protection thereafter which Hindu women do not have. So, it is plausible that the Uniform Civil Code would make the practice of 'mehr' compulsory for all while abolishing dowry.
It is absurd to think that a “Uniform Civil Code” has nothing to do with gender justice. Nevertheless, it also has a Hindu nationalist agenda along with the cult of the 'beef-ban' and the construction of the Ayodhya temple. A Uniform Civil Code in this sense of the term is meant to (10) Muslims, teach them (if they didn’t know it already) that they are second-class citizens, and that they live at the mercy of “the national race” (the Hindus), as M.S. Golwalkar decreed.
Find out the appropriate word in each case.
