: Assam Assembly passed a bill on Thursday to repeal the law governing the registration of marriages and divorces among Muslims in the state. The Assam Repealing Bill, 2024, abolishes The Assam Moslem Marriages and Divorces Registration Act, 1935, and the Assam Repealing Ordinance 2024. The BJP-led Assam government has pushed for this change, aiming to end child marriages and bring Muslim marriages and divorces under a government registration system. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that the goal is to abolish child marriages and move away from the "qazi" system, where clerics register Muslim marriages. The new legislation, the Assam Compulsory Registration of Muslim Marriage and Divorce Bill, 2024, will prohibit the registration of child marriages and ensure all marriages are officially registered.
