The Federal reports that the Uniform Civil Code is applied differently across states, with Gujarat, Assam and Uttarakhand following distinct legal frameworks.
The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) remains a subject of debate in India, with the federal government acknowledging that its application varies across states.
In Gujarat, lawmakers have adopted a set of provisions that differ from the national model, particularly in matters of marriage and inheritance.
Assam has taken a distinct approach, tailoring its civil code to accommodate the state's diverse cultural and religious communities.
Uttarakhand has also implemented its own version of the UCC, with specific clauses that reflect local traditions and legal practices.
These variations underscore the ongoing challenge of achieving a uniform civil code nationwide while respecting state autonomy.
