Abstract
Any citizen, regardless of their religion, nationality, or gender, is subject to the same set of laws that regulate personal concerns including but not limited to weddings, divorce, wills, and adoption under a universal civil code. The implementation of a uniform civil code has been a topic of discussion and controversy in many nations, including India. A uniform civil code, according to supporters, is essential to ensuring social justice, equality, and peaceful coexistence among varied cultures. However, opponents worry that it would have an adverse effect on people’s cultural and religious practises. The necessity for a uniform civil code will be discussed in this article, along with its potential advantages in advancing equality, safeguarding basic rights, guaranteeing gender justice, and encouraging national unity. We will also go into the difficulties and ramifications of enforcing a consistent civil code in a multi-ethnic and heterogeneous nation like India.
