Abstract

India is a secular nation and does not formally support any one religion. However, the issue of personal laws covering things like marriage, divorce, adoption, and inheritance remains a persistent legal conundrum. These regulations have their origins in the many different religious convictions and regional customs that exist today. The extensive disparity that exists in Indian society as a result of the implementation of these personal rules is the main focus of this research study. It explores how the adoption of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) may significantly reduce these differences, ensuring that the core idea of "equality before the law" is preserved consistently throughout India. This research paper also focuses on the benefits of the implementation of UCC in the society and the major challenges that are faced while implementing the UCC in India. This research paper also focuses on comparative study between India and other countries that had implemented UCC in personal laws.
