Which of the following States of India has a common Civil Code?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Article 44 of the Constitution of India directs the State to endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India. Among the given options, Goa has a common civil code (the Portuguese Civil Code of 1867, continued after Goa's integration into India in 1961) governing family law and succession across religious communities (Uttarakhand also subsequently enacted a Uniform Civil Code). By contrast, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh have special constitutional protections for their customary laws under Articles 371G and 371H respectively.
