It has long been suggested that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) may fill the gaps left by religion personal laws that frequently support gender discrimination, especially when it comes to women's reproductive rights.  The historical, constitutional, and sociopolitical facets of the UCC are critically examined in this essay, along with its ability to protect Indian women's reproductive rights.  Using a mixed-methods approach that includes both quantitative data from national surveys and doctrinal analysis, the study demonstrates a considerable positive link between women's reproductive health outcomes and the levels of legal uniformity.  Despite constitutional rights, religion-based personal laws nevertheless limit women's autonomy and access to reproductive justice.  The results highlight the pressing need for legal change in support of Sustainable Development Goal 5, which calls for gender equality and women's empowerment.  According to the study, UCC might be a game-changing tool for improving women's rights and attaining real gender justice in India if it is implemented successfully.
