The Madhya Pradesh government is set to roll out the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) by Diwali, aligning with the Bharatiya Janata Party's agenda for national integration and equality. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has tasked the home department with drafting the bill within six months, utilizing frameworks from Uttarakhand and Gujarat. A state-level committee will be formed, comprising legal experts, officials, and community representatives to oversee the implementation process. The UCC aims to provide equal rights for all citizens, as highlighted by Cooperatives Minister Vishwas Sarang. However, Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar has urged the government to engage with all stakeholders before finalizing the law. Uttarakhand was the first state to implement the UCC in 2025, followed by Gujarat in March 2026, each introducing measures such as mandatory registration of marriages and live-in relationships, along with penalties for non-compliance. The BJP promotes the UCC as part of its “one nation, one law” vision, emphasizing national unity and gender equality.
