Landmark move : Sikh Marriage Act all set for Punjab cabinet’s nod
Community will soon be able to register marriages legally in Punjab
LAHORE:
Almost three years after its passage, the Sikh Marriages Act, landmark legislation that provides legal status to Sikh marriages in Punjab, is all set to receive the provincial cabinet’s approval.
Moved by Punjab’s first Sikh lawmaker, Sardar Ramesh Singh Arora, the bill that paved the way for Sikh marriages to be legally recognized in the province was passed unanimously in 2018. However, objections raised by the Akal Takht, one of five seats of power of the Sikhs and other members of the community, delayed the final endorsement by the provincial cabinet.
