Understand Uniform Civil Code in easy language
The issue of implementing Uniform Civil Code has been raised on many occasions in the country. Uniform Civil Code means that there should be uniform law for any person of any religion, caste and community residing in India. It is above the personal law of any religion or caste.

Personal Law of all religions
Under this law, there will be one law in the whole country in matters related to marriage, divorce and property in any religion or community. At present, Muslim, Christian and Parsi communities have their own laws in the country, so Hindu is different from civil law. Explain that apart from Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists come under the purview of Hindu Civil Law.
