Under Rajasthan’s new UCC, live-ins to go on record from day one to breakup

Rajasthan’s Bhajan Lal Sharma government approved the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) draft Bill on Thursday, marking the fifth state to do so. The Bill aims to regulate marriage, divorce, succession, and live-in relationships, and will require mandatory registration of marriages within 60 days. The primary objective of the Bill is to provide uniform, transparent, and systematic governance of laws related to these matters.

The bill does not apply to Scheduled Tribes or classes with traditional rights protected under the Constitution.
