Rajasthan government has decided to recall the recently passed ‘Rajasthan Compulsory Marriage Registration Bill 2021’ and get it re-examined after objections were raised by the opposition Bhartiya Janata Party, non-governmental organisations, and social activists. Social activists and civil society members argued the new provision was retrograde because it effectively legalised child marriage. But misconception has been created regarding child marriage, then we will request the Governor to return the bill to the government,” said chief minister Ashok Gehlot. Addressing a state-level function on the occasion of International Girl Child Day, Gehlot said the controversy is going over the marriage registration bill passed in the state assembly.
