Which article of the Indian Constitution has provisions of Uniform Civil Code?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Article 44
Article 44, one of the Directive Principles of State Policy in Part IV of the Constitution, says: “The State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India.” A uniform civil code would mean one set of personal laws (marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption) for all citizens, whatever their religion. Like all Directive Principles, it is a goal for the State and cannot be enforced in a court.
