Everyone living in uttarakhand is covered by the UCC, except scheduled tribes and groups and those with protected authority. The rules about succession, marriage and divorce, cohabitation, and other relevant topics shall be governed and regulated by the uttarakhand Uniform Civil Code Act.
 
Polygamy and 'halala' are prohibited, and it establishes equal marriageable age for men and women as well as divorce reasons and processes for all religions.

Accordingly, a marriage may only be formally consummated between two people who are mentally competent of granting consent, neither of them has a spouse who is still alive, and the male must be at least 21 years old and the woman must be at least 18 years old. They shouldn't fall within the category of forbidden partnerships.
 
Marriage rites may be carried out following the law or religious traditions. Marriages consummated within 60 days of the Act's implementation must still be registered. All marriages and cohabitation must be registered with the UCC. To save individuals from having to rush around government offices, facilities have been developed to assist people in registering their marriages online.

Marriages consummated before march 26, 2010, or outside of uttarakhand, where both parties have been cohabitating since then and meet all legal eligibility requirements, may (though not necessarily) be registered within six months of the Act's enactment, according to an official government statement.
 
Rules have been maintained flexible to allow any military or air force personnel participating in an expedition, real combat, or as a mariner at sea to create a privileged will. Under testamentary succession, the uttarakhand government will put into effect the uttarakhand Uniform Civil Code Act, 2024, which would create a simplified framework for drafting and revoking wills and other papers called codicils.

Assam and other BJP-ruled states have already stated their intention to use Uttarakhand's UCC as a template.
