Uttarakhand UCC | Uttarakhand Is First State To Enforce Uniform Civil Code. What Changes
Uttarakhand will enforce a Uniform Civil Code today, laying a framework for uniform marriage, divorce, property, inheritance and adoption laws for all citizens. It will become the second state after Goa to have a uniform legal framework for citizens. The Code comes into effect almost a year after the Bill was passed in the Uttarakhand assembly, which was among the BJP's key election promises in the 2022 state polls. Among the clauses is the mandatory registration of live-in relationships and parental consent for live-in relationships involving individuals under the age of 21 years. The rule will apply to "any resident of Uttarakhand... in a live-in relationship outside the state".
