A socio legal study on exigency for uniform civil code in india

Abstract

The proposal for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India has been the focus of much discussion and disagreement, which is understandable given the complexity of a varied country with conflicting personal laws. The historical, social, and legal imperatives that support the necessity for a UCC are thoroughly examined in this essay, with an emphasis on how they would affect justice and equality in Indian society. Utilizing an extensive array of academic literature, legal precedents, and empirical data, this research investigates the current structure of personal laws in India that regulate affairs like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and succession across various religious sects. It examines the underlying injustices and inequalities that these laws include, which frequently support socioeconomic inequality, gender discrimination, and human rights abuses. newline
