        abstract = {The abstract discusses the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as a proposal for a standardized set of personal laws applicable to all citizens of a nation, irrespective of their religious or cultural background. The core idea behind the UCC is to promote equality, social justice, and gender justice by establishing a unified legal framework that supersedes religion-based personal laws.
Proponents believe that a UCC can harmonize diverse personal laws, reduce discrimination (especially in marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption), foster national unity, transcend religious divisions, and build a more inclusive and progressive society.
However, the implementation of a UCC faces significant challenges. A primary concern is the potential infringement upon religious freedom and cultural diversity, as personal laws are deeply intertwined with the identity and practices of religious communities. Critics argue that a single code could create tensions by overriding these rights, highlighting the need to balance uniformity with respect for diversity.
Furthermore, the political and legal complexities of adopting a UCC are emphasized. Achieving consensus among various stakeholders, including religious leaders, legislators, and the public, is crucial. The legislative framework must be carefully crafted to consider the unique aspects of different communities while upholding fundamental rights and principles of justice.},
