💨 Abstract

The Uttarakhand High Court has questioned the state about potential modifications to the recently implemented Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in response to a PIL challenging the provisions regarding live-in relationships. The court expressed concerns over the violation of privacy and potential harassment by police due to the information sought in registration forms. The pleas also challenged provisions requiring women to announce pregnancy status to terminate live-in relationships. The high court will revisit the matter on April 1.
