Assam tables Uniform Civil Code Bill 2026 in Assembly

Assam government on Monday introduced the Uniform Civil Code Bill in the state assembly. State Cabinet Minister Atul Bora tabled the Uniform Civil Code Assam Bill 2026 in the house on behalf of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.  With this Assam has become the first in the North-east and the third BJP ruled state in the country to have introduced the legislation. The BJP promised to introduce UCC in Assam in its manifesto ahead of the 2026 assembly polls. The state Cabinet approved the legislation in its first meeting on 13th of this month.

The bill seeks to ban polygamy and make registration of live-in relationships compulsory. The Bill provides that it will not be applicable to any of the Scheduled Tribes residing in Assam. For marriage, the Bill sets 21 years and 18 years as minimum age for men and women respectively, and prohibits polygamy. To safeguard legal rights, the Bill proposes to make marriage and divorce registration compulsory, which will be vital for securing maintenance, inheritance and other legal protection for spouses.
