INTRODUCTION
The requirement for an unified civil code in the Indian constitution is found in article 44 of the Directive Principles of State Policy. Because India has various religious sects, its civil laws are controlled by personal laws of their own faith. The Uniform Civil Code mentions enacting uniform family law to replace personal laws controlling Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Paris, and Jews, emphasizing one civil law for one country. Thus, UCC will eventually lead to the streamlining and modernization of personal law issues such as marriage, divorce, adoption, and inheritance. It is important to remember that before to independence, Hindus were ruled by their own personal laws, but with independence, a substantial portion of ancient Hindu laws were codified in 1955. In striking contrast, Muslims in familial relationships are still controlled by Shariat-based personal regulations.
