Abstract

The Indian Constitution's Directive  Principles of State Policy are outlined in Part IV.  However these standards are rules and are not enforceable  in that frame of mind of regulation anyway they are  crucial in the administration of the country. Article 44 of  the Constitution, which mandates the state to enact a uniform civil code, provides one such directive principle.  Different headings have been given by the Zenith Court  for its execution notwithstanding, because of exorbitant  politicization in our country it is as yet a far off dream.  Personal matters like marriage, divorce, and adoption are  not governed by a single body of law. Different individual regulations are relevant to various strict  networks who dwell in our country. These regulations  find their source and authority in their strict texts and  customs which accommodates orientation prejudicial  practices in all structures and frequently is one-sided  towards guys than that of females. This paper targets  accomplishing a harmony between Right to Opportunity  of Religion and Right to Correspondence by isolating the  'fundamental strict practices' and 'mainstream exercises'.  In this manner one can say that the need of great  importance is to sanction a Uniform Common Code  however that should be done gradually and continuously  in the wake of making individuals particularly the  minorities, mindful about its degree and degree as well as  their freedoms.
