Gujarat goes Uttarakhand way, to make registration of live-ins must

Gujarat has introduced the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), 2026 Bill, aiming to standardize personal laws for marriage, divorce, succession, and live-in relationships across communities, with exemptions for Scheduled Tribes. The bill mandates registration of marriages and divorces, bans polygamy, and sets a legal framework for live-in relationships and remarriage after divorce.
