marriage registration
Marriage registration will become mandatory after the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code. Registration facility will also be available at the panchayat level. There will be a similar law for divorce for any person of caste, religion or sect. At present, people of every religion in the country settle these matters through their personal law.
Prohibition of polygamy
Polymaths will be banned in the state. Girls’ marriage age, whether their caste or religion, will be the same. That is, the girl’s marriage age will be 18 years. After the implementation of UCC, people of all religions will have the right to adopt children. However, a child of another religion cannot be adopted.
The proposed bill prohibits remarriage as long as the spouse is alive or divorced. The first wife cannot have a second marriage without being alive and divorced.
The proposed UCC Bill bans Muslim practices such as polygamy, but also Nikah Halala and Iddat. However, these practices are not named in the bill. But the bill provides that even after divorce, if anyone wants, he can marry the same person without any condition.
Stop halala system
After the UCC is implemented, practices like Halala in Uttarakhand will also end. Girls will also get a share in her inheritance equal to boys. Now men in the Muslim community will not be allowed to marry more than one. Nikah Halala will also become illegal.
What change about money?
According to Islamic law, any Muslim can give one third of his property to anyone. While the rest is given to his family member. If no will is written before death, the property is distributed according to the methods mentioned in the Quran and Hadith. However, one third of the part should be given to someone else.
There is no such thing in the proposed UCC bill. The bill provides that if a dead person has left a will, then it is not necessary that he will have to give any part to a third party.
It is affected by the Indian Succession Act in a way. If not written in the will, the property of the deceased is distributed among his children, widows, parents or other relatives. If these people are not there, then the property will be found to his brother, sister, nephew, grandparents or other relatives. And if this could not be possible, then his family will get his property.
Parents’ consent is necessary for a live-in relationship
After the UCC is implemented in Uttarakhand, it will be mandatory for the couples to register their live-in relationship. If the couple is between 18 and 21 years of age, then they will also have to submit the consent letter of their parents during registration. Under the UCC, the child born with a live-in relationship will have equal rights to the married couple’s child.
