The Assam government has created an eight-member committee to develop rules for the Uniform Civil Code Bill. This bill aims to provide a common legal framework for various personal matters across religions. It prohibits polygamy and mandates the registration of live-in relationships while exempting Scheduled Tribes in Assam. The committee is expected to submit its draft rules within one month. The bill has already received approval from the Assam assembly.
