💨 Abstract

The Uttarakhand High Court has questioned the state government about reconsidering the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and making necessary amendments. The court is hearing petitions challenging the UCC's provisions on live-in relationships, which require mandatory registration and could intrude on privacy. The court is concerned about the potential for surveillance and policing of live-in relationships and the impact on women's rights. The state has been given four weeks to respond.
