The Uniform Civil Code in India proposes to replace the personal laws based on the scriptures and customs of each major religious community in the country with a common set governing every citizen. Article 44 of the constitution says that there should be a Uniform Civil Code throughout the territory of India. The Union Law Ministry has recently asked the Law Commission to examine in detail all issues related to Uniform Civil Code and submit a report to the government. A Uniform Civil Code can only emerge through an evolutionary process, which preserves India's rich legal heritage, of which all the personal laws are equal constituents. Current institutions need to be modernized, democratized and strengthened for this change.
