Uttarakhand Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill

The Uttarakhand Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill is a legislative initiative in Uttarakhand, led by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, aiming to implement a uniform set of personal laws for all citizens, irrespective of their religion. The bill covers various personal matters like marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption, aiming to ensure gender equality and social harmony. The draft bill, prepared by a committee led by Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, is set to be submitted on February 2, 2024, with the Uttarakhand Assembly session scheduled from February 5 to 8, 2024. This move is closely watched by other states and the union government, as it could set a precedent for the implementation of UCC in other regions.
