    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Article 44 of the Indian constitution provides for uniform civil code for the citizens. Uniform civil code of India is a term referring to the concept of an overarching civil law code in India. A uniform civil code administers the same set of secular civil laws to govern all people irrespective of then- religion, caste and tribe. This supersedes the right of citizens to be governed under different personal laws based on their religion or caste or tribe. Such codes are in place in most modem nations. The common areas covered by a civil code include laws related to acquisition and administration of property, marriage, divorce and adoption. The Constitution of India attempts to set a uniform civil code for its citizens as a Directive Principle, or a goal to be achieved.
