Himanta Biswa Sarma announces strict action to be taken against Fraud Marriages

Assam state Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma recently informed that for the next years the government will take the responsibility to ensure that marriages take place out of a free will and will fight against marriage which has been solemnized forcefully.

Himanta said, “In Assam, two or three trends have emerged lately.

The minister further said that the state government has decided to act tough on that.

However, this needs a concerted effort right from educating people, creating awareness and also the involvement of law and order machinery as and when it is necessary.

So for the next 5 years, we will try to see that all marriages take place out of a free will and there is no deception like this, the Minister added.
