The Uttrakhand UCC bill contains the laws relating to marriage, divorce, succession, live in relationships, and related matters. Among the many proposals, the Uniform civil code bill makes it compulsory for live in relationships to be registered under the law. Once the proposed UCC Bill is in place, “live in relationships” will have to get registered under the law within 1 month from the “date of entering into the relationship.” To live in a relationship, adults will have to obtain consent from their parents.
The bill also imposes a complete ban on child marriage and introduces a uniform process for divorce. The Code provides equal rights to women of all religions in their ancestral property. As per the UCC Bill, the age for marriage will be 18 for women and 21 for men in all communities. Marriage registration is mandatory in all religions, and marriages without registration will be invalid. No divorce petition will be allowed to be filed after one year of marriage.
