ABSTRACT:


The Constitution of India prescribes enjoins the State to create a uniform civil code. Such a code purports to be a solution to the heterogeneity in family law and to secure the rights of women and children in family law while promising the eradication of societal evils and enabling faster procedures in family matters. Indian Family law being rooted in religion, culture, and customs makes it imperative that the creation of such a code be based on equitable representation of all affected parties and consensus of all communities on provisions and for it to be cognizant of protecting essential religious, cultural, and customary practices.
