The draft of the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) for Uttarakhand focuses on safeguarding the interests of women, children, and the differently-abled. It covers issues such as marriage, divorce, succession, guardianship, custody, and inheritance. The draft is expected to be submitted to the state government by the end of July and may serve as a template for a pan-India code. The UCC aims to subsume customary laws across faiths and tribes and govern issues related to marriage, divorce, inheritance, and maintenance. The issue has gained attention after Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a case for UCC.
