Abstract

The word “uniform common code" means common law for every citizen of India irrespective of their religion. Article 44 of the Indian Constitution “The state shall endeavour to secure common code for every religion.” As India has a diverse religion it has different personal laws too which should be unified. The uniform civil code will bring gender equality and justice among everyone. Some people might argue that uniform common code will infringe their freedom of religion . The researcher in her research paper will also deal with challenges in favour of uniform common code. The debate revolving around the implementation of the UCC in India is complex and involves a delicate balancing of modernity, secularism, and religious diversity. While the adoption of a UCC could perhaps simplify the legal process and promote gender equality, its implementation faces significant political, social, and cultural challenges. This abstract explores the arguments for and against the harmonized civil code, its probable outcomes on Indian society, and the challenges involved in its formulation and adoption.
