The Goa government has announced that it would amend the Portuguese-era Uniform Civil Code (UCC) so as to allow non-Goans register their marriages in the state.
Registration of marriage of non-Goans is currently banned in Goa.
UCC was introduced in goa in the year 1870 by the erstwhile Portuguese rulers.
It was retained even after the territory was merged with India in the year 1961.
