The Uttarakhand cabinet has passed the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) bill. This bill will now be presented in the state assembly for further discussion. The draft bill addresses issues such as preventing marriages with multiple women, setting the minimum age for girls to marry at 21, making registration necessary for live-in relationships, and more.
The introduction of the UCC bill has sparked both support and opposition, with discussions happening in the state assembly regarding its potential impact. The bill aims to provide a common set of laws for all citizens, regardless of their religion, beliefs, or traditions.
The Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Pushkar Singh Dhami, presented the bill in the assembly amidst varying opinions and debates. If the bill passes in the assembly, Uttarakhand could become the first state in India to implement a Common Civil Code.
The UCC bill has gained attention not only in Uttarakhand but across the country, with implications for marriage laws and personal freedoms. It remains to be seen how the discussions in the assembly will shape the future of civil laws in the state and potentially set a precedent for the rest of the nation.
