Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
A directive principle urging one code for marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption across all communities. Advocates claim it promotes national unity, gender justice, and secular governance. Critics worry about undermining minority religious customs or cultural autonomy. Political will to implement remains lukewarm due to electoral sensitivities. Supreme Court rulings occasionally press for reform in personal laws to ensure gender equality. Debates revolve around reconciling religious freedom with universal civil laws. While partial reforms (triple talaq ban) emerged, a comprehensive UCC remains pending. The tension underscores India’s struggle to balance personal liberty, community identity, and social justice under the Constitution.
