Register marriages & divorces irrespective of religion : LC

A law to register all marriages and divorces, irrespective of religion, has been proposed by the Law Commission of India, the Law and Justice Ministry. ‘There is a great diversity in respect of laws for registration of marriages,’ the Ministry noted in a statement, adding that the Commission took its ace from a 32 month old Supreme Court judgement. The apex court judgement of February 14, 2006-- Seema vs. Ashwani Kumar-- held that all marriages be compulsorily registered. The Commission’s 211th Report on Laws on Registration of Marriage and Divorce - A Proposal for Consolidation and Reform was recently forwarded by Chairman A R Lakshmanan to Law and Justice Minister Hans Raj Bhardwaj.
