Assam Cabinet Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday confirmed that the State Government has drafted a law against ‘Love Jihad’ to curb deception in cases of Marriage. Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the Bill will be enacted after the BJP-led Government is re-elected to power in 2021 Assam Assembly polls.  He further mentioned that the law will ensure that no Person can provide a false identity to get married.

“Marriage is considered one of the holiest acts. It should happen in circumstances where there is No fraud and No cheating. The law will ensure that nobody can provide false identity, false religion and basically, you cannot hide your Religious Identity to get Married even in Social Media or otherwise. We have drafted a law. We have seen the laws enacted in other States also. But as I told you, we are going into Elections now.”
