Rajasthan Cabinet Approves Uniform Civil Code Bill Regulating Personal Laws
The Rajasthan Cabinet approved the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill, aiming to regulate marriage, divorce, inheritance, maintenance, and live-in relationships with uniform laws. The Bill mandates marriage registration within 60 days and bans polygamy, while exempting Scheduled Tribes and communities with protected customary rights. It also requires registration or written notice for live-in relationships. The draft, based on recommendations from a committee led by former Supreme Court judge Ranjana Prakash Desai, will be introduced in the upcoming Assembly session alongside a tree protection Bill.
