Consider the following statements with respect to Uniform Civil Code (UCC):
1.It aims to provide for one law for the entire country which is applicable to all religious communities in their personal matters.
2.Article 44 states that the state shall endeavour to secure a UCC for the citizens throughout the territory of India.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Uniform Civil Code (UCC)
A Uniform Civil Code (UCC) aims to provide for one law for the entire country, applicable to all religious communities in their personal matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption etc.
Article 44, a directive principle of the Constitution says that the state shall endeavour to secure a UCC for the citizens throughout the territory of India.
The directive principle are not justiciable (not enforceable by any court) but the principles laid down therein are fundamental in governance.
Fundamental rights are enforceable in a court of law.
While Article 44 uses the words “state shall endeavour”.
But in other Articles in the ‘Directive Principles’ chapter use words such as “in particular strive”, “shall in particular direct its policy”, “shall be obligation of the state” etc.
All this implies that the duty of the state is greater in other directive principles than in Article 44.
Indian laws do follow a uniform code in most civil matters like Indian Contract Act, Civil Procedure Code, Transfer of Property Act, Partnership Act, etc.
