States which have uniform civil code

Let us look at the Indian states which have implemented Uniform Civil Code (UCC) so far.

Goa in India is the first state to have UCC. It has a Goa Civil Code that has been in place since the Portuguese times.

All Goans are bound by the same laws regarding marriage, divorce, and succession irrespective of religious identities.

After Goa, Uttrakhand is the other state all set to implement UCC in the next two months.

With the implementation of UCC, Uttarakhand will become the first Indian state to have this law since independence.

The Uttarakhand government announced its decision to implement the Uniform Civil Code in the state on May 27.

Himachal Pradesh CM Jairam Thakur had also announced on May 2 that the UCC will be brought into the state soon.
