UNIFORM CIVIL CODE: PERSONAL LAWS IN JEOPARDY
Downloads
Abstract
Under the Constitution of India, Article 44 talks about the implementation of the uniform civil code throughout the territory of India. It is mentioned under the Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV). The implementation of such code would result in unification of all customs and religious practices resulting in the sidelining of the existent personal laws governing marriage, divorce, inheritance and so on. It would create a circumstance where personal laws shall be same for every person, irrespective of their caste, creed, religion and gender. This paper focuses on the perspectives brought forward against the implementation of a Uniform civil code and analyses various reasons and circumstances that would be brought to life if such uniformity with respect to personal laws is brought into force in India.
