UCC proposes a common set of laws for marriage, divorce, adoption, inheritance, and succession for all citizens, irrespective of their religion.
Article 44 of the Indian Constitution advocates for the UCC, aiming to reduce discrimination and promote harmony among diverse cultural groups.
Introduced during British rule, the idea of UCC has evolved over time, with efforts to codify Hindu laws and other personal laws since the 1940s.
Different laws based on religion have led to social fragmentation and judicial complexity, making a uniform code essential for equality and streamlined legal processes.
UCC aims to address issues related to personal laws, offering protection to marginalized groups and fostering national unity by simplifying legal systems.
