Uniform Civil Code: what and why?

This article is on the topic “Uniform Civil Code”. Article 44 of the constitution of India provides that, “the state shall endeavor to secure for its citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India”. As we have seen that UCC is mentioned and is provided in the constitution but its implementation which is primarily debatable and uncertain. The major question of its implementation has no answers. The UCC upholds the social status of women in Indian society. The various contradictions due to which UCC is not allowed to are summed up here. The article also contains major challenges, besides political subjects that India faces in the implementation of UCC or common personal laws for every religion.

CONCLUSION

According to our point of view, UCC would be an ideal safeguard of citizens' rights. It is ‘progressive legislation’. With changing times there is a need for common civil code that should be implemented irrespective of religion for all citizens so that there fundamental and constitutional rights are protected. UCC should be implemented because it also strengthens the secularism and national integrity.

In the end, we can say that by the implementation of UCC we will create a country of dreams of Dr. BR Ambedkar and MK Gandhi as Gandhi has said: “I don’t expect India of my dreams to develop one religion but I want to be wholly tolerant with its religious working side by side with one and another”.
