Rajasthan Cabinet clears draft civil-code bill covering live-in relationships
Published
Rajasthan’s Cabinet cleared a draft Uniform Civil Code bill that includes provisions concerning live-in relationships, alongside separate proposed protection for khejri trees. Cabinet approval advances the civil-code proposal but does not enact it; the legislature must consider the text. The supplied report does not detail every affected personal-law provision or the safeguards attached to registration and enforcement.
Why it matters
A state civil code could alter legal rules governing families, partnerships and personal status for millions of residents. Scrutiny of privacy, equality and implementation will be central when lawmakers examine the draft.
Evidence assessment
