Rajasthan Cabinet Approves Draft Bills for Uniform Civil Code and Tree Protection
Rajasthan's Cabinet approved draft Bills for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and tree protection ahead of upcoming elections. The UCC Bill mandates marriage and divorce registration within 60 days, prohibits polygamy, and ensures equal inheritance rights for sons and daughters across religions, excluding Scheduled Tribes and constitutionally protected communities. Marriages can follow customary practices, and live-in relationships must be registered. The Bills, based on a committee led by former Supreme Court Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, will be introduced in the Assembly's monsoon session.
