Uniform Civil Code: A Rationale for Enactment

Author(s)	Uma Begam

Abstract	Abstract: With a statesmanlike wisdom, Dr. B.R.Ambedkar (1891-1956 AD) along with several other framers of the Constitution of India, have left an important Directive Principle in Article 44; it reads thus: “The State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India.” This Directive Principle had its supporters and opponents. The opponents opposed on ground of infringement of personal laws and religion. The supporters argued: in a civilized society personal law and religion are separable; and during the British period a good number of Acts have been enacted in the shape of uniform laws. This paper provides additional arguments for a uniform civil code.
