flag Uttarakhand's new online marriage system, launched in 2026, has processed over 474,000 registrations, boosting transparency and women’s rights.

flag Uttarakhand has implemented the Uniform Civil Code (Amendment) Ordinance, 2026, effective immediately, enhancing procedural, administrative, and penal aspects of the 2024 UCC law. flag The state now mandates fully online marriage registration, allowing couples to submit documents and record video statements remotely, eliminating in-person visits. flag Since implementation, over 474,000 marriages have been registered—about 1,400 daily—up from 67 under the previous system. flag The reforms, praised for boosting transparency and women’s rights, include stricter penalties for fraud or coercion, new authority for the Registrar General to cancel registrations, and updated definitions, such as replacing “widow” with “spouse” in legal documents. flag The state’s approach is seen as a model for other regions.
