The decision, coming three weeks after Uttarakhand's implementation of Uniform Civil Code legislation, marks a shift towards uniformity in civil laws.
Anyone staying in a live-in relationship for more than a month without getting it registered will face punishment with imprisonment up to three months or a fine of up to Rs 10,000 or both, the bill says.
Once the Bill gets the governor's consent, Uttarakhand will become the first state to get a common law on marriage, divorce, land, property and inheritance for its citizens.
Under the UCC bill, a child born of a live-in relationship will be considered legitimate.
Once it becomes an Act, Uttarakhand will become the first state in the country after Independence to adopt the UCC.
The special session of the Assembly has been convened especially to pass the legislation on the UCC. The approval by the state cabinet was necessary for its introduction in the House.
