Maitshaphrang has urged the Meghalaya government to reinstate a mandatory clause in the state Marriage Act, arguing that its dilution adversely affects women's rights.
Maitshaphrang has approached the Meghalaya government with a request to restore a mandatory provision in the state’s Marriage Act that was recently diluted.
According to Maitshaphrang, the weakening of the clause has left women vulnerable to unfair practices and undermines legal safeguards intended to protect them in marital relationships.
The appeal comes amid broader discussions on gender justice in the northeastern state, though the Meghalaya administration has not yet issued a public response to the request.
