The Uniform Civil Code primarily seeks to replace which types of laws currently governing personal matters in India?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Religious personal laws (e.g., Hindu Marriage Act, Muslim Personal Law).
The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) aims to establish a single, common set of laws governing personal matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption for all citizens, regardless of their religion.
Currently, these areas are governed by diverse religious personal laws.
Article 44 of the Directive Principles of State Policy mandates the state to endeavor to secure a UCC, replacing faith-based legal frameworks with a secular, uniform code to ensure legal equality.
