Uttarakhand implements India's first Uniform Civil Code, unifying marriage, divorce, and inheritance laws.
Uttarakhand has become the first Indian state to implement a Uniform Civil Code (UCC), simplifying laws on marriage, divorce, and inheritance for all residents except Scheduled Tribes and protected communities. The UCC mandates marriage registration within 60 days for new marriages and within 6 months for those between March 26, 2010, and the Act's implementation. A registrar general and sub-registrars will oversee the process to ensure legal clarity and social harmony.
