Bill to ban polygamy tabled in Assam Assembly by Himanta Biswa Sarma
Assam polygamy bill: CM Sarma had said on an earlier occasion that polygamy in the state would attract a minimum punishment of seven years in prison, irrespective of the offender's religion.
A bill to ban polygamy was tabled in the Assam Assembly on November 25.
The state's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on brought the bill aimed at banning polygamy.
CM Sarma tabled the Assam Prohibition of Polygamy Bill, 2025, after taking permission from the Speaker, Biswajit Daimary.
Opposition Congress, CPI(M) and Raijor Dal MLAs were absent during the tabling of the bill. These MLAs staged a walkout after a discussion on the death of singer Zubeen Garg.
This was the first day of the Winter Session of Assam Assembly.
The bill will be taken up for discussion and passage on a later date, news agency PTI reported.
CM Sarma had said on an earlier occasion that polygamy in the state would attract a minimum punishment of seven years in prison, irrespective of the offender's religion.
“If a person marries another woman without legally divorcing his wife, there will be a provision for imprisonment of seven years or more. Religious justification won't do,” the CM had said.
He had further said that the BJP-led government in Assam will introduce a bill to prohibit the practice, even if permitted under religious laws.
“The BJP government won't allow polygamy. We will protect the dignity of women in this state at any cost,” Sarma had said while addressing young women at the launch of a scheme providing monthly financial assistance to girls pursuing higher education.
