32:04Now PlayingIn a groundbreaking move, the Indian state of Assam repealed the colonial-era Assam Muslim Marriages and Divorces Registration Act of 1935, effectively banning child marriage among its Muslim population. This decision, announced by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has sparked controversy and accusations of voter polarization ahead of the 2024 general elections. Sarma articulated the government's stance, stating, “This move marks another significant step towards prohibiting child marriages in Assam,” highlighting the act's outdated provisions that allowed marriage registration below the legal ages of 18 and 21. The law's repeal aligns with Assam's broader crackdown on child marriages initiated last year, amidst claims of targeting the Muslim community. Critics argue this measure serves both to address child marriage and subtly pave the way for a Uniform Civil Code, a proposed legal framework aimed at standardizing personal laws of all citizens regardless of religion, drawing sharp criticism from political opponents and leaders within the Muslim community who see this as an attempt to marginalize Muslims and provoke religious tensions.
