Madhya Pradesh Tables Uniform Civil Code Bill 2026

Madhya Pradesh Tables Uniform Civil Code Bill 2026

The Madhya Pradesh government has introduced a new law called the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill, 2026.

This law aims to give everyone equal rights and justice.

It says that people can only have one spouse, and marriages and live-in relationships must be registered.

The law also protects women who are abandoned in live-in relationships and gives children born out of such relationships the right to inherit property.

Some groups, like certain tribes, are not included in this law.

The government says this law will not interfere with people's religious freedoms.

Some people support the law because it promotes equality, while others are worried it might restrict cultural practices.
