President Droupadi Murmu has given assent to the Gujarat Uniform Civil Code Bill, 2026, making Gujarat the second state after Uttarakhand to adopt a UCC. The law, passed by the Assembly in March, creates a common legal framework for marriage, divorce, inheritance, and live-in relationships, with Scheduled Tribes excluded. It will take effect once the state government notifies the rules.
