The Assam government, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, is set to introduce a controversial bill in the upcoming state assembly session starting on August 22, mandating the government registration of marriages and divorces within the Muslim community. The bill has sparked opposition, with critics arguing that it interferes with religious practices. While the opposition supports amending child marriage provisions, they strongly oppose government involvement in marriage and divorce regulations, citing concerns over religious autonomy. The bill aims to address issues like child marriage but has drawn criticism for its perceived communal undertones.
