Assam CM Himanta Sarma Invites Public Suggestions On Proposed Law To Ban Polygamy

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday asked the public to send their suggestions and opinions on the proposed law to ban polygamy in Assam. In a post on X, Sarma shared a notice signed by the principal secretary of the Home Department requesting the people to send their opinion by August 30 through email or by post

"Members of the public are requested to send us their suggestions on the proposed law to ban polygamy in Assam," Sarma tweeted while attaching the notice.

The notice mentioned that the Assam government had formed an expert committee to study the legislative competence of the Assembly to enact a law banning polygamy. The public notice also shared the executive summary of the report and said that marriage falls under the Concurrent List, enabling both the Centre and states to pass laws on it.
