Abstract

Uniform civil code is a proposal to formulate and implement personal law of citizen which applies on all citizens regardless of their religion. At personal law of every religion is scripted by their respected religious scripture. Uniform civil code is the serious issue promised by various political parties but failed to do it. It is important issue as our constitution depicts India has secular country so personal laws are formulated as distinguished religion scripture, and it remained continues in debate by Indian leftist group. The biggest impediment for uniform civil code is country’s diversity and religious laws, which not only differs sector wise but also community, caste and region. The other impediments are Article 25 of the Indian constitution which states Fundamental rights to freedom of religion. As Article 44 is the Directive principle of State policy and Article 25 is a fundamental right, so DPSP can’t contradict fundamental rights. In a secular county a government can’t force any arbitrary law on citizens without their consent for it.
