Can't wait for it to be implemented in the entire nation.

Major things talked about in this UCC

• Now every girl and boy's minimum marriage age is 18 and 21 respectively.

• Now through this law, if any one of the couple changes his religion without the consent of the other, then the other person will have full right to divorce that person and take maintenance allowance.

• The way registration of births and deaths was done till now, registration of both marriage and divorce can also be done by adopting the same process. In line with the mantra of simplification of our government, this registration can also be done through a web portal

• Now only those couples who have registered their marriage will be able to avail the benefits of all government facilities. Even in the absence of registration, any marriage will not be considered illegal or invalid.

• If any person, hiding his first marriage tries to cheat a woman, and gets into a second marriage, then his identity will now be easily detected, doing so will awaken a sense of security among our mothers and sisters.

• In case of divorce or domestic dispute between husband and wife, the custody of the child up to 5 years of age will remain with the mother.

• No distinction has been made between legitimate and illegitimate children for rights in property. Now considering all the children equal, equality in property rights has been given.

• Live-in relationships are clearly defined in the UCC. Will be able to live in a live-in relationship only if they are not already married or in a live-in relationship with someone else and do not fall in the category of relationships prohibited by law

UCC is very good for everyone. As all are considered as an equal citizens. It'll stop discrimination based on caste, religion. It'll provide equal rights to all living in Uttarakhand.

It needs to be implemented all over India soon.

I'm waiting for this UCC to be put into effect nationwide. All citizens of the country should be subject to the same laws, regardless of their caste or religion.

The UCC bill has provisions for equal rights for women in inheritance in ancestral properties, equal rights to adopt, divorce and a ban on polygamy, mandatory registration/self-declaration for live-in relationships, mandatory registration of marriage and divorce, and a common marriageable age (18 for women and 21 for men)

The code envisions the same set of rules for everyone.

The constitution adopted in 1950 placed the code in a section that recommends laws for future governments. It encouraged the state to "endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory".

PROVISIONS UNDER THE NEW LAW

It bans polygamy, a practice allowed under Muslim laws that permit a man to have up to four wives.

It sets minimum ages for men and women to marry. While Hindu and secular laws only allow men to marry at 21 and women at 18, there is no restriction for Muslims and other communities.

It prohibits a person marrying relatives including cousins, uncles, aunts, which is allowed in many communities.

It is a very good topic, and thanks for posting all the details.

Ameliorating step towards a better India 🤩

Love love love the move. Thanks Mr. Dhami.

Was hoping UCC all over India in Modi’s 2nd term but can’t wait till he brings it in his 3rd term. Modi ji, pure desh mein UCC lagu kar do.

These laws are very binding yet flexible, liked it very much. And great initiative by BJP to experiment on state level first then implement in whole nation.

Jo bhi haldwani mein ho Raha hai that's very scary though, I know its not just because of UCC but impact to uska bhi pada hai
