Uttarakhand becomes first Indian state after independence to implement UCC, CM Dhami launches portal

UCC in Uttarakhand: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami today (January 27) unveiled the notification for the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state. As part of the initiative, he released the rules associated with the UCC and also launched a dedicated portal created for the mandatory online registration of marriages, divorces, and live-in relationships.

Uttarakhand has become the first Indian state after independence to implement the Uniform Civil Code. The UCC is designed to promote legal equality by ensuring that people from all castes, religions, and communities are governed by the same set of laws in personal matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and property rights.

The Uttarakhand Chief Minister has become the first person to register on the UCC portal.

The event took place in the auditorium at Dhami’s official residence called ‘Mukhya Sevak Sadan’ in the presence of his ministerial colleagues and a host of senior officials.

On the implementation of UCC, the Uttarakhand Chief Minister said that the Uniform Civil Code implementation is not to target any religion and emphasised that it is a legal instrument to end all evil practices. He further said that the UCC will end discrimination against women and protect the rights of children.
