The abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution of India is an example of Constitutional integration, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday. He also observed that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was a humane law. “Abrogation of Article 370 is an example of constitutional integration. An example of a humane law such as CAA is in front of us. On issues such as these, in the national interest, usual justice is something what our court judgements explicitly state. From lower to Supreme Court, on issues such as this, a nation first principle has been adopted,” he said.
The Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly has passed the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), making it the first state in post-Independence India to do so. The bill aims to standardize laws concerning marriage, divorce, inheritance, and property. Notable provisions include increased marriageable age for women and equal inheritance rights. The bill has sparked widespread debate and anticipation.
Summary:
The Uttarakhand Assembly introduced the Uniform Civil Code with provisions for live-in relationship registration, parental consent for those under 21, and penalties for non-compliance. The code aims to replace diverse personal laws, addressing issues such as polygamy, triple talaq, and child marriage, while some express concerns over potential infringements on religious and tribal rights.
