With reference to the Uniform Civil Code Bill recently passed by the Gujarat Legislative Assembly, consider the following statements:
- AOnly 1
- BOnly 2
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Gujarat's UCC Bill makes registration of live-in relationships compulsory and fully exempts Scheduled Tribes, so statement 1 is correct. The Bill, modelled on Uttarakhand's UCC, retains a heteronormative framework and does not recognise same-sex marriages or civil unions, which makes statement 2 wrong.
