Fundamental Approach Of Uniform Civil Code In Indian Constitution

Abstract

"The State must endeavour to ensure for people a uniform civil code across the territory of India," says Article 44 of India's Constitution. The planned code has not been produced or deployed after more than six decades. To create an Indian
Uniform Civil Code, the authors of this book use lessons learned from other countries' civil codes as a guide. There are many inter-community and intracommunity conflicts involving questions of law, culture and religion. Guidelines and considerations are included in the book to aid with this process. We've taken cues from the way other countries have dealt with the difficulty of creating civil
codes while still respecting existing local laws and social practises. Religiousstate connections are also examined in this framework. The Muslim or Hindu majority group should be reassured by this set of recommendations. For two distinct but related reasons, a Uniform Civil Code may be crafted in a democratic society to ensure the long-term viability of cultural and societal norms while
simultaneously reinforcing constitutional ideals that protect the rights of girls and women
