UNIFORM CIVIL CODE IN INDIA
Why Uniform Civil Code
Many religious live in India at present every religious manage some issue according their own act or rules for marriage, succession, adoption etc.
According to the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), all religious communities in India would be one legislation for one country that would govern all issues irrespective of any religious communities including marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption in any part of India.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been pressing for the legislation in Parliament, has made it a top priority because the issue has been at the core of political discourse and discussion for more than a century. The implementation of UCC was the first promise made by a party, and the saffron party included it in its 2019 Lok Sabha election manifesto.
What makes Article 44 significant?
To combat prejudice against vulnerable groups and harmonise various cultural groups across the nation, Article 44 of the Directive Principles of the Indian Constitution was created. When drafting the Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar stated that while a UCC is desirable, it should remain voluntary for the time being. As a result, It was included in the Constitution as a provision that would be fulfilled whenever the country was ready to embrace it and the UCC could gain social support.
The role of the Uniform Civil Code
The UCC also advocated by Ambedkar, but that time congress leader stop it. But now need for nation unity.
