Abstract:

The debate surrounding India’s UCC has been ongoing for many years. According to the UCC, a standardized legal framework that is more unified for all citizens should replace the diverse family laws. The argument lies on both sides, with some advocating for gender equality and national unity while others see it as interfering with religious customs and traditions. From a social standpoint, India’s adoption of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) faces opposition. We are examining the idea of the UCC, its legal framework, and genesis. Examining the UCC as it relates to personal laws, the paper delves into its advantages, disadvantages, and challenges.

Keywords: Uniform Civil Code, personal laws, religion, gender equality, national unity, social resistance.
