Learn about Article 44, committee members, constitutional significance, key facts, MCQs, and exam-oriented current affairs notes for UPSC, PCS, SSC, Banking, Railways, Defence, and Teaching exams.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rajasthan_Government_Initiates_Process_for_Uniform_Civil_Code\"><\/span>Rajasthan Government Initiates Process for Uniform Civil Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rajasthan government has taken a significant step toward implementing a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) by constituting a five-member high-level committee to prepare a draft law for the state. The committee will be chaired by former Supreme Court judge Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai and has been entrusted with the responsibility of drafting the proposed Rajasthan Uniform Civil Code (RUCC). This move places Rajasthan among the leading states actively pursuing the implementation of a common civil law framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Objective_Behind_the_Proposed_Uniform_Civil_Code\"><\/span>Objective Behind the Proposed Uniform Civil Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary objective of the proposed Uniform Civil Code is to establish a common set of civil laws applicable to all citizens regardless of religion, caste, or community. The proposed legislation seeks to govern matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption, maintenance, and succession under a single legal framework. Supporters of the initiative argue that it will promote equality before the law and strengthen gender justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Composition_of_the_Five-Member_Committee\"><\/span>Composition of the Five-Member Committee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The committee is headed by Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, a former judge of the Supreme Court of India. Other members include retired IAS officer Shatrughna Singh, Rajasthan High Court Additional Advocate General Basant Singh Chhaba, former Government Law College Principal Ramswaroop Agarwal, and Dr. Shuchi Chauhan. The Additional Chief Secretary (Home) will serve as the Member-Secretary of the committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Provisions_Likely_to_be_Included\"><\/span>Key Provisions Likely to be Included<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to information released by the state government, the proposed draft may include mandatory registration of marriages and divorces, prohibition of polygamy, registration of live-in relationships, and equal inheritance rights for sons and daughters in ancestral property. These provisions are aimed at creating legal uniformity and ensuring equal rights for all citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_Consultation_Process\"><\/span>Public Consultation Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most important aspects of the initiative is the emphasis on public consultation. The committee will visit divisional headquarters across Rajasthan to interact with citizens, legal experts, social organizations, and representatives of various communities. The government also plans to launch an online portal through which citizens can submit suggestions and feedback regarding the proposed law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Constitutional_Basis_of_the_Uniform_Civil_Code\"><\/span>Constitutional Basis of the Uniform Civil Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of the Uniform Civil Code finds its constitutional basis in Article 44 of the Constitution of India. Article 44 is part of the Directive Principles of State Policy and directs the State to endeavor to secure a Uniform Civil Code for all citizens throughout the territory of India. Although Directive Principles are not legally enforceable, they serve as guiding principles for governance and policy-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rajasthan_Joins_Other_States_Pursuing_UCC\"><\/span>Rajasthan Joins Other States Pursuing UCC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rajasthan has become one of several states moving toward implementing a Uniform Civil Code. Uttarakhand became the first state in independent India to enact a UCC framework, while states such as Gujarat, Assam, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh have also initiated discussions or drafting processes. Rajasthan&#8217;s move reflects a growing trend among states seeking to establish common civil laws within their jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Significance_for_Competitive_Examinations\"><\/span>Significance for Competitive Examinations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The formation of the Rajasthan UCC drafting committee is highly relevant for UPSC, State PCS, SSC, Banking, Railways, Defence, Police, and Teaching examinations. Questions may be asked regarding Article 44, Directive Principles of State Policy, Uniform Civil Code, constitutional provisions relating to personal laws, and recent developments in state-level governance reforms. Aspirants should carefully study the constitutional and legal dimensions associated with this development.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\" id=\"rajasthan-uniform-civil-code-committee\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR-95JhFZO2sc_CNPW-jAn_yUGFaiRbnfpmANq979EQag&amp;s\" alt=\"rajasthan uniform civil code committee\" style=\"width:705px;height:auto\" title=\"rajasthan uniform civil code committee\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">rajasthan uniform civil code committee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_This_News_is_Important\"><\/span>Why This News is Important<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_from_Constitutional_Perspective\"><\/span>Importance from Constitutional Perspective<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rajasthan government&#8217;s decision to draft a Uniform Civil Code is significant because it directly relates to Article 44 of the Indian Constitution. The move revives an important constitutional debate concerning the relationship between personal laws and the principle of equality before law. For students preparing for competitive examinations, understanding the constitutional framework behind the UCC is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_for_Womens_Rights_and_Gender_Equality\"><\/span>Importance for Women&#8217;s Rights and Gender Equality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporters of the Uniform Civil Code argue that a common legal framework can help eliminate discriminatory practices and strengthen gender justice. Issues such as inheritance rights, marriage registration, divorce procedures, and property rights often differ across personal laws. A uniform code aims to provide equal treatment to all citizens irrespective of religious identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_for_Governance_and_Legal_Reforms\"><\/span>Importance for Governance and Legal Reforms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The formation of the committee highlights the role of states in initiating legal and administrative reforms. It demonstrates how state governments can interpret and pursue Directive Principles of State Policy while considering regional social realities and public opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_for_Competitive_Examinations\"><\/span>Importance for Competitive Examinations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This topic is highly relevant for UPSC Prelims and Mains, State PCS examinations, SSC CGL, Banking awareness sections, Railways, Defence services, and teaching eligibility examinations. Questions may focus on Article 44, Directive Principles, committee composition, UCC provisions, and recent state-level developments regarding civil laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_for_Current_Affairs_Awareness\"><\/span>Importance for Current Affairs Awareness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development reflects broader national discussions on legal uniformity, secular governance, social justice, and constitutional reforms. Since UCC remains a frequently debated topic in Indian polity, aspirants should closely follow such developments for both objective and descriptive examination questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Historical_Background_of_Uniform_Civil_Code_in_India\"><\/span>Historical Background of Uniform Civil Code in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Origin_During_Constitution-Making\"><\/span>Origin During Constitution-Making<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea of a Uniform Civil Code was debated extensively during the framing of the Indian Constitution. Members of the Constituent Assembly discussed whether India should have a common civil law applicable to all citizens.
