Minorities call for new law on marriages, divorce
July 16, 2021
ISLAMABAD: Members of the religious minorities Thursday criticised the delay in formulation and upgradation of the Christian marriage and divorce law by replacing the 150-year-old Christian personal laws.
Christian, Hindu and Sikh communities’ members contended here at a news conference that women and children were the main sufferers due to the absence of upgraded Christian family laws, and the government was not moving ahead to submit the new draft law to the parliament for consideration and adoption.
The group, which introduced itself as the National Lobbying Delegation (NLD) for Minorities Rights, called on the federal as well as provincial governments to finalise the Christian Marriage and Divorce Act 2021 as early as possible to doing away with issues, related to it.
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan Wednesday said a new law will be brought against the land mafia.
“There is a lot of work pressure on the Law Ministry and it is not known for a long time where the file that goes there, is lost, but I still pay tribute to assistance in providing inheritance certificates,” the prime minister said while addressing a ceremony in connection with issuance of inheritance certificates in Punjab.
Imran Khan said that everything in government institutions is done with great difficulty. He said it is necessary to create ease for the people with the help of technology. He pointed out that Shaukat Khanum Hospital makes full use of technology due to which corruption has ceased to exist, and efforts are being made to bring e-governance in the government.
