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.
