Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, vowed to eradicate child marriages in the state during his tenure by repealing the Assam Muslim Marriages and Divorces Registration Act, 1935. However, this bold move has sparked intense debates in the Assam Assembly. Critics argue that the government's goal to combat child marriage through the repeal may inadvertently lead to an increase, as the 94 registrars' oversight is eliminated.
