Abstract

The article discusses the link between gender justice and the enforcement of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India. The UCC is specified in Article 44 of the Indian constitution, aiming to standardize personal laws governing marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption across the diverse religious communities in India. Currently, these laws vary significantly between different religious groups, leading to gender inequalities. While the judiciary has played a crucial role in advocating for the importance of introducing the UCC in the Indian legal system through landmark judgments, its implementation remains a contentious issue among lawmakers. Therefore, the article emphasizes the historical background of personal laws and the need for a change to achieve equality among citizens in our country.
