Assam cabinet approves implementation of UCC, bill in assembly on May 26: Himanta Biswa Sarma

The Assam Cabinet has approved the Uniform Civil Code. This significant decision will be presented to the new legislative assembly soon. The tribal population of Assam will be excluded from the UCC's purview. This move ensures that all tribal rituals, traditions, and customs remain unaffected. The UCC will govern matters like marriage, succession, and live-in relationships.
