On 24 March 2026, which state became the second in India to pass the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill?

Explanation (Bilingual / द्विभाषी व्याख्या)

On 24 March 2026, Gujarat became the second state in India to pass the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill. The UCC aims to create a common set of civil laws for all citizens, replacing personal laws based on religion in matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption.

The first state to pass a UCC law was Uttarakhand.

24 मार्च 2026 को गुजरात भारत का दूसरा राज्य बना जिसने समान नागरिक संहिता (UCC) विधेयक पारित किया।

UCC का उद्देश्य सभी नागरिकों के लिए एक समान नागरिक कानून प्रणाली लागू करना है, जिससे विवाह, तलाक, उत्तराधिकार और गोद लेने जैसे मामलों में धार्मिक व्यक्तिगत कानूनों की जगह एक समान नियम लागू हों।
