Abstract	India is a nation celebrated for its rich religious diversity and commitment to secularism. Personal laws for religions like Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity currently govern civil matters such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance. However, Article 44 of the Indian Constitution advocates for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) to establish a uniform legal framework, potentially advancing gender equality and promoting national integration. This research paper explores the feasibility of implementing a UCC in India by examining the benefits of a UCC, including its impact on reducing gender disparities, while addressing concerns over cultural autonomy and religious freedom. The latter half of the paper also provides policy recommendations for implementing the UCC in India.
