The Assam Cabinet has also directed that suitable legislation be brought for the registration of Muslim marriages in Assam, to be considered by the next session of the Assembly.
Earlier, the state cabinet night approved the decision to repeal the Act in a bid to end the social menace of child marriage as it contained provisions allowing registration of marriages even if the bride and groom had not reached the legal ages of 18 and 21 respectively.
Assam Cabinet Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah emphasized that going forward, all matters pertaining to Muslim marriages and divorces would be governed by the Special Marriages Act.
There questions were whether said to be a foreign law will be applicable in Indian context, and secondly, whether the property of a Goan domicile outside the territory of Goa would be governed by the civil code or by Indian Succession Act or by personal laws, as applicable in the rest of the country.
