Uniform Civil Code : The Constitution of India

Uniform Civil Code for the Citizens of India

The Constitution of India in its Article 44 in the Directive Principle to State Policy, states that “the State shall endeavor to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India”. This lays the seed for a uniform civil code for the citizens of the entire nation. The Uniform Civil Code aims to establish a uniform legal framework for all citizens, regardless of their religion.
