The Uttarakhand Assembly cleaned nine accounts in the middle of a stir on Wednesday (August 20, 2025), including amendments to controversial accounts of the Unified Civil Act (UCC) and religious transformation and equally controversial legislation related to minority education.
Among the accounts passing in the meeting held in Gairain, the summer capital of Uttarakhand, was a unified bill on the Civil Act (amendment), 2025, which increases punishments with regard to illegal living relations. Amendment for Section 380 (2) says a married person entering a living relationship can be punished by a prison for up to seven years and fine. The government has also changed the 387 section, which now claims to be in a relationship by force, pressure or fraud for up to seven years and a fine.
The time limit for marriage, which needs to be carried out in six months, was extended to one year. A new part was also inserted into UCC. According to Section 390-A, the CEO will have the power to cancel any registration related to marriage, divorce, live relationship or inheritance.
The freedom of religion and the ban on illegal conversions (amendment), 2025, allows a prison from three -year to life for people who are found guilty of “forced conversions” for people. Previously, the maximum imprisonment for “forced conversion” was 10 years. The bill defines “attraction” as “any gift, satisfaction, easy money or material advantage, whether in cash or type, employment or evoking divine displeasure”. Trading in people and life threats attract penalties from 20 years to life under Act 2025.
The accusation can also be booked for “false promises of marriage” according to the bill. Hiding someone’s religion The intention of marriage attracts imprisonment for three to 10 years and a fine of 3 lakh. As a participation in religious transformation, it will also be considered a disease of one religion and praise of another and propaganda on social or digital media.
The government faced the maximum opposition when completing a bill on minority educational institutions 2025, which expands the benefits of minority status to educational institutions Sikh, Jain, Christian, Parsi and Buddhist communities. With the passage of the bill, all Madras will have to apply for an association from the Uttarakhand Education Council to 1 July 2026, and then apply for a minority status at Uttarakhanda State Office for Minority Education (USAME). Only if the necessary conditions are met, the institutions will be granted minority educational status and unrecognized Madras will be closed.
However, the government deleted an earlier proposal at the request of Kashipur Mlak Singh Cheema, which was looking for a 15% reservation ceiling for students who do not arise in educational institutions operated by minorities.
In addition, the Assembly also cleaned the supplementary law on the application, 2025; UTTARAKHAND-LUTTAR PRADESH Shri Badrinath and Shri Kedarnath Temples (Appendix), 2025; Uttarakhand private universities (amendment) Bill, 2025; Uttarakhand Witness Protection of the abolition of the law, 2025; Uttarakhand Panchayati Raj (amendment), 2025; and Uttarakhand Loket Senani Samman Bill, 2025.
