Guwahati, Dec 16: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday said that a bill to ban polygamy will be introduced in the next session of the Assam assembly to be held in February.

Speaking to reporters, CM Sarma said, “The bill to ban polygamy will be placed on the floor of the Assam assembly, which will commence on February 4.”.

The bill has been formulated after months of consultations with various individuals and organisations.

The chief minister had earlier said that some points would be incorporated into the bill with the objective of stopping ‘love jihad’ in the state.

The state government had received as many as 149 suggestions in response to a public notice seeking feedback on the proposed law to ban the practice of marrying multiple times. Out of these, 146 suggestions were in favour of the bill, indicating strong public support, they said. Three organisations have expressed their opposition to the bill.
