Article 44 of the Constitution of India, part of the Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV), states that “The State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India.”A Uniform Civil Code (UCC) would replace personal laws based on scriptures and customs of various religious communities (such as Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Parsi personal laws) with a common set of laws governing marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption, maintenance, etc., for all citizens.
