The New Indian Express, October 14 reported that the government of Uttarakhand in northern India on the 13th approved the amendment of the implementation rules of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), easing the marriage registration threshold for Nepalese, Bhutanese, Tibetan people in India, and residents of the state. It is known that the majority of the population in this state has close social and marital ties with the above three regions. However, previous regulations required both parties to have a valid Indian digital identity authentication system (Aadhaar) certificate issued by the state, which caused inconvenience to spouses from the above three regions. Analysts pointed out that the revised regulation will help break down social customs and caste system barriers, reducing the burden on residents. According to the revised regulations, if one spouse comes from the above regions, they can register their marriage with an effective identification proof and proof of legal stay in India. Specifically, Nepalese citizens need an effective Nepalese citizen identity proof, and a document proving a stay of more than 180 days issued by the Nepalese mission in India; Bhutanese citizens need an effective Bhutanese citizen identity proof, and a document proving a stay of more than 180 days issued by the Royal Bhutan Mission in India; Tibetan people in India need to submit an effective registration certificate issued by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in India.
