BREAKING LIVE: Assam Cabinet Approves Bill To Ban Polygamy, To Be Tabled In State Assembly On Nov 25
The Assam Cabinet has approved the Assam Prohibition of Polygamy Bill 2025, making polygamy a cognizable offence punishable with up to seven years of imprisonment. The bill, which was proposed by the Assam government to protect women’s rights and promote gender equality, has been termed as a landmark legislation in the state.
According to information, the bill makes polygamy a cognizable offence, allowing the administration to arrest offenders without a warrant. Those found guilty of polygamy will face imprisonment of up to seven years, sending a strong message that the practice will no longer be tolerated in the state.
Under the provisions of the bill, women who are victims of polygamy will be eligible to receive compensation from the government, providing them with financial support and protection. However, the bill exempts Scheduled Tribe (ST) people and areas under the sixth schedule of the Constitution, recognising the unique cultural and social context of these communities.
