Assam Cabinet Approves Mandatory Registration for Muslim Marriages

The Assam cabinet has notified a framework that makes the registration of Muslim marriages compulsory across the state. Under the proposed framework, couples from the Muslim community will be required to record their marriage with the state's civil registration authority, similar to the process followed for other religious groups. Officials indicated that the move seeks to bring all marriages under a single legal register, ensuring uniform legal recognition and improving record‑keeping.
