Madhya Pradesh Assembly passes UCC Bill, Congress slams ‘RSS agenda’
The Madhya Pradesh Assembly passed the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill, which bans polygamy, criminalises triple talaq and nikah halala, and mandates registration of marriages and live-in relationships. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav called it a landmark reform, while the Congress party condemned it as part of an 'RSS agenda.' The bill exempts Scheduled Tribes and aims to establish equal inheritance rights for all genders.
