The Gujarat state legislature's Uniform Civil Code bill has received presidential assent and will now be implemented.
The Gujarat Legislative Assembly passed a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) bill, and the President of India has now given formal assent, turning the proposal into law.
The enactment marks a notable step toward a common set of civil laws for all citizens of the state, aiming to replace the existing personal laws that vary by religion.
With presidential approval secured, the state government will now draft detailed rules and regulations required for the UCC's rollout, outlining timelines and administrative mechanisms for its enforcement.
