Gujarat moves closer to UCC, main focus on women rights
March 18, 2026
|The Morning Standard
GUJARAT moved a step closer to implementing the Uniform Civil Code on Tuesday, as a high-level committee, led by Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, submitting its final report to Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
The report in three volumes proposes a common legal framework across religions on marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption.
The five-member Desai committee was constituted on February 4, 2025, with a mandate to examine the feasibility and contours of a state-level UCC. With the report now on the chief minister’s table, sources say that the government is evaluating the recommendations, with strong indications that a bill could be introduced in the Assembly as early as the last week of March. If Gujarat turns the Desai panel suggestions into law, it will become the second state after Uttara-Khand to have the Uniform Civil Code under the NDA regime.
