<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The Goa civil code is largely based on the <a href="Portuguese_India" title="Portuguese India">Portuguese</a> Civil Code (<i>Código Civil Português</i>) of 1867, which was introduced in Goa in 1870 (by a Decree of 18 November 1869, the Civil Code of 1867 was extended to the Overseas Provinces of Portugal<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>). Later, the code saw some modifications, based on:<sup id="cite_ref-Statesman2014_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Statesman2014-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<ul><li>the Portuguese Gentile Hindu Usages Decrees of 1880 (<i>Código de usos e costumes dos hindus gentios de Goa </i>)</li></ul>

<p><br>

</p>

<ul><li>the Portuguese Decrees on Marriage and Divorce of 1910 (<i>Lei do Divórcio: Decreto de 3 de Novembro de 1910</i>). After the establishment of the <a href="First_Portuguese_Republic" title="First Portuguese Republic">First Portuguese Republic</a>, the civil code was liberalized to give women more freedom.<sup id="cite_ref-Fatima1996_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fatima1996-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>

<li>the Portuguese Decrees on Canonical Marriages of 1946 (<i>Decreto 35.461: regula o casamento nas colónias portuguesas</i>)<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul>

<p>The civil code was retained in Goa after its <a href="1961_Indian_annexation_of_Goa" class="mw-redirect" title="1961 Indian annexation of Goa">merger</a> with the Indian Union in 1961, although in Portugal, the original Code was replaced by the new <a href="Portuguese_Civil_Code" title="Portuguese Civil Code">Portuguese Civil Code</a> of 1966. In 1981, the Government of India appointed a Personal Law Committee to determine if the non-uniform laws of the Union could be extended to Goa. The Goa Muslim <a href="Shariah" class="mw-redirect" title="Shariah">Shariah</a> Organization supported the move, but it was met with stiff resistance from the Muslim Youth Welfare Association and the Goa Muslim Women's Associations.<sup id="cite_ref-Partha2012_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Partha2012-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Differences_with_the_Indian_law">Differences with the Indian law</h2></div>

<p>Some ways in which the Goa Civil Code is different from other Indian laws include:<sup id="cite_ref-Statesman2014_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Statesman2014-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<ul><li>A married couple jointly holds ownership of all the assets owned (before the <a href="Marriage" title="Marriage">marriage</a>) or acquired (after the marriage) by each spouse. In case of a <a href="Divorce" title="Divorce">divorce</a>, each spouse is entitled to a half share of the assets. However, the law also allows <a href="Antenuptial_agreement" class="mw-redirect" title="Antenuptial agreement">antenuptial agreements</a>, which may state a different division of assets in case of a divorce. These agreements also allow the spouses to hold the assets acquired before marriage separately. Such agreements cannot be changed or revoked. A married person cannot sell the property without the consent of his/her spouse.</li>

<li>The parents cannot <a href="Disinherit" class="mw-redirect" title="Disinherit">disinherit</a> their children entirely. At least half of their property has to be passed on to the children compulsorily. This inherited property must be shared equally among the children.</li>

<li><a href="Muslim" class="mw-redirect" title="Muslim">Muslim</a> men, who have their marriages registered in Goa, cannot practice <a href="Polygyny_in_Islam" title="Polygyny in Islam">polygamy</a>.</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Uniformity">Uniformity</h2></div>

<p>The Goa Civil Code is not strictly a <a href="Uniform_civil_code" class="mw-redirect" title="Uniform civil code">uniform civil code</a>, as it has specific provisions for certain communities. For example:<sup id="cite_ref-Statesman2014_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Statesman2014-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Partha2012_10-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Partha2012-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<ul><li>The <a href="Hinduism" title="Hinduism">Hindu</a> men have the right to <a href="Bigamy" title="Bigamy">bigamy</a> under specific circumstances mentioned in <i>Codes of Usages and Customs of Gentile Hindus of Goa</i> (if the wife fails to deliver a child by the age of 25, or if she fails to deliver a male child by the age of 30). For other communities, the law prohibits bigamy.</li>

<li>The <a href="Roman_Catholic" class="mw-redirect" title="Roman Catholic">Roman Catholics</a> can solemnize their marriages in church after obtaining a No Objection Certificate from the Civil Registrar. For others, only a civil registration of the marriage is accepted as a proof of marriage. The Catholics marrying in the church are excluded from divorce provisions under the civil law.</li>

<li>For Hindus, divorce is permitted only on the grounds of <a href="Adultery" title="Adultery">adultery</a> by the wife.</li>

<li>The law has inequalities in case of <a href="Adoption" title="Adoption">adopted</a> and <a href="Legitimacy_(family_law)" title="Legitimacy (family law)">illegitimate</a> children.</li></ul>
