Madhya Pradesh's UCC draft proposes registration of live-in couples
Madhya Pradesh's draft uniform civil code requires live-in couples to register with their district registrar and formally cancel if the relationship ends.
Failure to register a live-in relationship could attract imprisonment of up to three months.
Parents will be informed of their children's live-in relationship status; local police stations will maintain records of registered couples.
The draft proposes changes to inheritance laws: the father becomes an heir to a deceased son's property, replacing 'mother' with 'parents'.
The proposed code will initially exclude the state's 21% tribal population.
