Assam Mandates Compulsory Registration of Muslim Marriages

Assam has introduced a rule that makes the registration of Muslim marriages compulsory, according to an explanatory piece published by The Hindu.
The regulation brings Muslim marriages under the same legal registration framework that applies to other communities in the state, meaning couples will need to record their union with the local marriage registrar.
The Hindu notes that the move is intended to ensure that all marriages are documented for legal and administrative purposes, although the article does not provide further details on implementation or timelines.
