Question

79. Which of the following is correct about Uniform civil code?

• A. It is nowhere mentioned in the Constitution of India
• B. It is mentioned in Fundamental duties.
• C. It is mentioned in Directive principle of State Policy
• D. There is a separate schedule in the constitution describing this.

Answer 1

The correct option is C It is mentioned in Directive principle of State Policy

During the framing of the Indian Constitution, it was widely debated that a secular republic needs a common law for all citizens rather than differentiated rules based on religious practices.
Eventually, the Uniform Civil Code was put under Article 44 of the Constitution. Since this article comes under the 'Directive Principles of the State Policy' and thus, it is not enforceable by any Court of Law.
