The Uniform Civil Code is dealt with under Article 44 of the Indian Constitution. Article 44 is part of the Directive Principles of State Policy outlined in Part IV of the Constitution. It states that “The State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India.” This article aims to have a common set of personal laws applicable to all citizens uniformly, covering matters like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption, irrespective of religion or community. However, Article 44 is a directive principle and is not enforceable by any court but acts as a guiding principle for the state policy on uniformity in personal laws.
