Gandhinagar (04.02.2025): The Gujarat government has announced a committee under retired Supreme Court judge Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai for exploring the implementation of Uniform Civil Code (UCC). This move from the Gujarat government comes after Uttarakhand enforced UCC which laid the framework for uniform marriage, divorce, property, inheritance and adoption laws for all citizens. Uttarakhand became the second state after Goa to have a uniform legal framework for citizens.

The UCC came into effect in Uttarakhand almost a year after the Bill was passed in the state’s assembly. Some other key elements of the bill are a ban on polygamy, child marriage, triple talaq and a uniform process for divorce.
