From Pluralism to Parity: The Socio-legal Journey of the Uniform Civil Code in India

Author(s) Shivani Chaturvedi
Country India
Abstract The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is a prospective compilation of personal laws in India intended to supplant the varied religious rules regulating marriage, divorce, inheritance, succession, and adoption with a unified legal framework. This topic has sparked significant socio-legal discourse in Indian law, illustrating the intricate relationship among constitutional principles, religious diversity, and legal uniformity. This article rigorously analyses the historical development, constitutional requirements, and social and political aspects of the UCC. It assesses arguments both in favor of and against its adoption and examines legal precedents. The paper concludes by examining various avenues for the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code in India, harmonizing constitutional principles with societal plurality. Nonetheless, the concept garnered considerable support in independent India throughout the Constitution's formulation. During British administration, India's governance was characterized by a heterogeneous array of personal rules rooted in religion, ethnicity, and traditional customs. The British endeavoured to establish consistent legislation in some domains, including criminal law and property rights, with initiatives such as the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and the Indian Succession Act.
Keywords Uniform Civil Code, Indian constitution, personal laws, legal uniformity, socio-legal analysis.
