Assam Scraps Muslim Marriage Registration Law, Is It A Move Towards UCC In Assam? | ABP News

The Assam Cabinet on Friday decided to repeal the Assam Muslim Marriage and Divorce Registration Act, 1935. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced the decision by his government in a social media post on microblogging platform X on Friday night. This development comes just weeks after the BJP-led government got the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) passed in the Uttarakhand Assembly. Earlier, in January 2024, the Assam CM had also asserted that after Uttarakhand and Gujarat, Assam will become the third state to bring in UCC. He had said that Assam's UCC will be in line with the Uttarakhand UCC.
