UNIFORM CIVIL CODE LAW,WHAT IT IS AND CAN IT BE IMPLEMENTED ?

ACCORDING TO CONSTITUTION

Article 44 of the Indian constitution provides for uniform civil code in india. UCC proposes to replace the personal laws of various religions based on the scriptures and customs with a common set of laws governing every citizen.

However there are many factors that inhibit India from enacting a uniform civil code: 

• India is very diverse religiously thus practical challenges for common set of rules for marriage , divorce , inheritance etc

• Perceived as encroachment on religious freedom especially by the minorities. 

• UCC is against fundamental rights under article 25 and article 26

• Masses are unaware of the long term benefits of UCC pertaining to marriage etc.

Despite challenges, irrational practices backed by personal laws hold no merit in the modern democratic world. Therefore UCC implementation will ensure equality before law to all as provided in the constitution.
