Event Summary

The India — Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly passed the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill, 2026 by voice vote on July 21, 2026, amid protests from the opposition India — Indian National Congress. The bill bans polygamy, criminalizes triple talaq and nikah halala, mandates registration of marriages, divorces, and live-in relationships, and provides equal inheritance rights to all children. Tribal communities are exempted from the bill. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav hailed the passage as a 'golden day' and accused the Congress of opposing the bill for Muslim appeasement. Congress MLAs Arif Masood and Umang Singhar demanded the bill be sent to a select committee, but their proposals were rejected. India — Madhya Pradesh becomes the fourth state to implement UCC after India — Goa, India — Assam, and India — Uttarakhand. The bill will be sent to the President of India for assent.
