2.It aims to have uniform laws for all religious communities in matters of personal law.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Answer: B
Notes:
Explanation –
Statement 1 is incorrect. The Uniform Civil Code is mentioned in the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), not Fundamental Duties. DPSPs offer guidelines for the state but are not directly enforceable by courts.
Statement 2 is correct. The central idea of the UCC is to replace varied personal laws (based on religion) governing marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption, etc., with a uniform set of laws for all citizens.
