Answer: Uttarakhand
Notes: Uttarakhand becomes the first state in India to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) from January 27, 2025. The UCC aims to bring uniformity in personal civil matters, eliminating discrimination based on caste, religion, or gender. It covers marriage, divorce, succession, and inheritance laws, ensuring equal rights for all. Marriage registration will be mandatory within 60 days, with special provisions for older marriages. Scheduled Tribes and some protected communities are excluded from the Act.
