Yes, the idea of “one nation, one law” is a necessity and in pursuit of that goal a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has been suggested to ‘reform’ our current legal structure which will cement national unity & integrity as well equality before law while modernising India laws. UCC seeks to end discrimination on grounds of religion or caste. It is replacing the different laws which are based upon the scriptures and customs of each major religious community in India with a common set governing every citizen.

Equality and Justice:

India’s complex legal system currently has myriad personal laws for different communities that results in differential rights and obligations, which mainly affect women. There is no question that India needs a UCC to harmonize different personal laws on common principles, and enable unity of law in areas like marriage, divorce, inheritance etc., as part of the commitment implicit in Article 44- the right against discrimination.

National Integration: UCC can promote a feeling of unity and national identity by establishing equal rights for all citizens under one singular legal framework. This can also reduce legal pluralism whenever it is and acts as a barrier to national integration divides-inter alia, communities

Gender Justice : Most of the personal laws that exist treat women unfairly and were formulated purely under patriarchal influences. A UCC would seek to ensure equal rights and protection for women in all communities, It will help achieve gender justice by addressing issues such as unilateral divorce (by of Triple Talaq), unequal inheritance right which leads= g various form on the exploitation of Women like Polygamy,Ployandry & mystical marriage.

Modernization & Simplification: By replacing the currently complex and outdated personal laws with a simplified, coherent legal body of law ensure that it provides an updated set of uniform rules for India. It would have made the law more consumable and intelligible to an average man.

Secularism: A UCC conforms with the secular principles incorporated in the Indian Constitution by refusing to respect religious laws that apply differentially to different persons. This divorce of religion from law only strengthens the secular nature of a state.

While the implementation of a UCC is a complex and sensitive issue, requiring extensive dialogue and consensus-building among diverse communities, its potential to enhance equality, justice, and national unity makes it a necessary step for India’s progress as a modern, inclusive democracy.
