Madhya Pradesh Assembly Passes Uniform Civil Code Bill Amid Opposition Protests
The Madhya Pradesh Assembly passed the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill amid protests from the opposition Congress party, which demanded referral to a select committee. The bill bans polygamy, criminalizes triple talaq and nikah halala, mandates registration of marriages, divorces, and live-in relationships, and grants equal inheritance rights. Scheduled Tribes are exempted to protect their customs. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav hailed the bill as historic and accused Congress of opposing it for political reasons, while Congress raised constitutional and cultural concerns.
