Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma questioned the “special provision” given to a particular religious group
Raipur: Despite India being a secular country, Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma questioned the practice of making “special provisions” for any specific religious group. He also congratulated the people of Uttarakhand on the Uniform Civil Code’s adoption.
On January 27, Uttarakhand, led by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, became the nation’s first state to adopt the Uniform Civil Code.
The “historic moment for Uttarakhand” was referred to by Dhami, who also declared that January 27 will be observed as “UCC Diwas.”
The Constitution states that India is a secular country, Chhattisgarh Dy CM Vijay Sharma said in an interview with ANI on the implementation of the UCC.
The Constitution states unequivocally that we are a secular country. Therefore, it is beneficial to have UCC since it is difficult to make specific arrangements for any one religion when there is secularism. The Dy CM said ANI, “I’d want to congratulate everyone on its implementation in Uttarakhand.
In addition to becoming the first individual to register his marriage on the recently built UCC Portal, CM Dhami presented the UCC announcement on Monday.
The Chief Minister announced the UCC notification, launched the UCC site (ucc.uk.gov.in), and published the UCC Rulebook at a ceremony at the CM’s home, Mukhya Sevak Sadan.
The Chief Minister personally registered his marriage under the UCC after Chief Secretary Radha Raturi gave him the first UCC marriage registration certificate at the occasion. The first five applicants who registered under the UCC Act also received certificates from the CM.
“I want to congratulate Uttarakhand and the Chief Minister,” Rawat said in an interview with the media report, expressing her support. It is recommended that everyone register. This is a solid beginning. We’ll gradually see the advantages we finally get.
The UCC was written by an expert team that consulted 2.35 lakh people, Chief Minister Dhami said. The state administration is honoring Dr. BR Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution, and every member of the Constituent Assembly by putting the UCC into effect.
“It is a moment of pride and joy for me,” the Chief Minister said, expressing his connection to Uttarakhand’s 1.25 crore citizens at the event. He went on to say that the UCC’s adoption has guaranteed all people, including women of all faiths, equal constitutional and civic rights.
According to this, a marriage can only be formally consummated between two people who are not in any prohibited relationships, have no living spouses, are both mentally capable of granting consent, and are at least 21 and 18 years old, respectively.
Marriage ceremonies may be conducted in any way permitted by law or religious tradition, but marriages consummated after the Act’s enactment must be registered within 60 days.
