Uniform Civil Code In India: Analyzing Challenges, Reasons And Prospects

Abstract

India's Constitution Article 44 which puts forward the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has long been the centre of heated discussion and controversy, having a long past. It suggests that a standard set of civil rules that apply to all citizens, regardless of their religious connections, would take the role of personal laws that currently regulate issues like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption. This research paper intends to delve into the UCC's historical context, assess its current state, look at the difficulties it faces, and consider the likelihood of its implementation. The study provides an in-depth examination of the UCC in the Indian context based on a thorough review of the literature, legislative papers, judicial precedents, and public opinion.
