The newly approved legal framework introduces major regulatory changes across the state.

Madhya Pradesh has advanced its legislative agenda after the state assembly officially passed the Uniform Civil Code Bill. Lawmakers cleared the landmark piece of legislation during an intense second day of the monsoon session amid heavy opposition protests.

Opposition legislators actively pushed for the proposed bill to undergo detailed review by a select committee. Following the rejection of this formal demand by the government, protesting members entered the well to raise loud slogans.

These escalating political disruptions forced assembly leaders to announce two separate adjournments. Despite the chaotic floor conditions, the governing majority successfully secured the passage of the legislative measure.

The newly approved legal framework introduces major regulatory changes across the state. Key provisions prohibit multiple marriages while establishing mandatory legal pathways for divorce proceedings and uniform inheritance rights for all genders.

Additionally, the legislation mandates formal registration for both marriages down to the village level and live-in relationships within one month. Meanwhile, local tribal populations remain completely exempt from these rules before heading for gubernatorial approval.
