Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Wednesday that the Assam government will introduce the Uniform Civil Code Bill (UCC) in the Assembly on May 26. The state cabinet has approved the draft of UCC. The UCC will deal with marriage, live-in relationships, and compulsory registration of marriage, including divorce, largely in sync with Gujarat, Uttarakhand, and Goa, but with complete exemptions for Assam's tribal population and their customs. This move is part of the BJP's commitment to implement UCC, a long-standing promise. Only a few states have implemented UCC so far. CM Sarma assured the move prioritises Assam’s identity and development. The announcement is part of the new NDA 3.0 government's push for reforms.

The Uniform Civil Code aims to replace religion-based personal laws with common civil laws for all citizens, ensuring uniform legal rights. It remains a sensitive issue in India. Assam's approach exempts tribal communities, reflecting the state's diverse population.
