BJP In Bengal May Table Uniform Code As Its 1st Bill On Monday: Sources
Bengal's Suvendu Adhikari government is poised to table a bill implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as early as Monday, making it the fourth BJP-ruled state to do so. The bill would replace religion-based personal laws with a uniform law covering marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption, and succession, potentially sparking intense political debate given that 27% of the population is Muslim. The move follows BJP's election promise to introduce the UCC within six months of assuming power in Bengal.
