Assam Becomes Third State to Approve Uniform Civil Code Bill

The Assam Legislative Assembly has approved the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill, making it the third state in India to pass the legislation. With this decision, Assam joins Uttarakhand and Gujarat, which had already given their approval to the UCC.

The approval marks a significant development in the implementation of a uniform legal framework across states. Officials stated that the move aims to bring legal uniformity in personal laws, while further discussions and implementation processes are expected in the coming stages.
