Uttarakhand Makes History: First State to Enact Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill

Uttarakhand, the BJP ruled state, has achieved a significant milestone by passing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) bill, marking it as the first state to do so. This pioneering move may inspire other BJP-governed states to adopt similar legislation, with Rajasthan already expressing its intent to introduce a UCC bill in the upcoming assembly session.

The Uniform Civil Code entails a standardized set of laws applicable to all Indian citizens, regardless of religion, concerning various personal matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption. This development reflects efforts towards establishing a uniform legal framework that transcends religious boundaries.
