The Rajasthan government has constituted a high-level committee to draft a Uniform Civil Code for the state, headed by a former Supreme Court judge.
The body is led by retired Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, with the additional chief secretary serving as a member. The committee has been tasked with preparing the draft of the state’s uniform civil code.
A Uniform Civil Code seeks to provide a common set of personal laws governing matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance and succession, irrespective of religion. The subject has been the focus of significant political and legal debate.
The formation of the committee marks a formal step by Rajasthan toward developing its own code, with the eventual draft expected to shape further discussion on the issue within the state.
