PM Modi Congratulates Uttarakhand Govt For Implementing Uniform Civil Code

With Uttarakhand becoming the first State to implement the Uniform Civil Code, prominent Muslim organisation Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind on Monday (January 27, 2025) said it will challenge the decision in courts, asserting that its lawyers have thoroughly examined its constitutional and legal aspects.

BJP-ruled Uttarakhand on Monday became the first State in India to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), which promotes equal laws for every citizen across all religions and standardises personal laws on marriage, divorce and property.

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced the implementation of UCC at a programme at his official residence in Dehradun, saying with this the constitutional and civil rights of people across all religions have become uniform.
