Marry Again Now If You Want: Himanta Biswa Sarmas UCC Advice To Badruddin Ajmal

Taking a jab at AIUDF leader Badruddin Ajmal, who openly opposes the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Assam’s Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma remarked that if Ajmal is considering remarriage, he should do it before the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He indicated that polygamy will soon be deemed illegal in the state. Sarma’s comment comes in the wake of the recently passed UCC in the Uttarakhand assembly. The code aims to ensure consistent civil laws for all communities across the nation, except for the Scheduled Tribes.

Addressing reporters on Saturday, the Chief Minister expressed that he would participate in the wedding ceremony of the AIUDF MP if it were to occur prior to the general elections.

The Assam Chief Minister suggested that if Ajmal is contemplating remarriage, he should do so promptly, as the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Assam after the elections could pose legal issues, potentially leading to his arrest for engaging in polygamy. He stated that he would even consider attending Ajmal's wedding if it occurs before the elections.
