Uttarakhand Uniform Civil Code of Uttarakhand, Rules, 2025

General2025154 rules

These rules establish a uniform legal framework for personal matters like marriage, divorce, and inheritance across the state of Uttarakhand. They apply to all residents of the state, including those living abroad, and cover various religious communities by standardizing ceremonies and registration processes. The legislation also extends to foreign nationals married to Uttarakhand residents regarding marriage and divorce, though inheritance follows specific laws. Notably, the rules do not apply to members of Scheduled Tribes or groups with protected customary rights. By creating a single electronic register, the government aims to simplify legal procedures and ensure consistent application of civil laws for personal status and succession.
