Uttarakhand Waqf Board Proposes Revised Nikahnama

WHY IT MATTERS

The revised nikahnama could have a significant impact on the implementation of the UCC in Uttarakhand, potentially streamlining the process for couples seeking to get married under the new code.

What happened

The Uttarakhand Waqf Board has proposed a revised nikahnama to align with the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state. The revised format removes columns for second, third, or fourth marriages, as the UCC only allows one marriage. This change aims to bring the nikahnama in line with the UCC, which has been in force in Uttarakhand since January 27, 2025. The previous draft of the nikahnama failed to meet the necessary checks.
