"What is the need for registration and the purpose of the bill when child marriage would remain illegal," asked BJP during the discussion on the bill.
Amid strong resistance from the Opposition, the Rajasthan Assembly on Friday passed the 'Compulsory Registration of Marriages Amendment bill of Rajasthan'. With the passing of the aforementioned bill, the registration of child marriages in the state will now be allowed.
The bill states that if the girl's age at the time of the wedding is less than 18 years and the boy's age is less than 21, the parents will have to inform the registration officer within 30 days. Based on the information, the process for registration will be initiated by the concerned authority.
What is the Compulsory Registration of Marriages Amendment bill of Rajasthan?
The Compulsory Registration of Marriages Amendment bill of Rajasthan entitles the parents of underage couples to get their marriage registered. The parents of the couple will inform the registration officer by handing a memorandum in the prescribed format. Based on this, the registration officer will register that child marriage. The marriage registration officer will do the registration up to the block level.
