Changes will be made in the Anand karj Marriage Act 2018: Ramesh Singh Arora

The Sikh Anand karj Marriage Act 2018 of the Punjab province of Pakistan will be amended. This information was given by Ramesh Singh Arora, the first Sikh minister in the Maryam Nawaz government. He said that through this, marriage under the age of 18 will be banned in the Sikh community.

While presiding over the meeting of the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, Arora said that the new amendments in Pakistan's Sikh Act are going to be in favor of the minority community.

Arora is the Cabinet Minister for Minority Affairs in Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz's government. He said that Punjab is going to be the first state to implement the Sikh Marriage Act. He said that the Sikh Marriage Act was passed by the Punjab Assembly in March 2018 but its implementation was delayed due to political reasons.

Arora said that Sikhs in Pakistan are facing many legal problems due to non-registration of their marriages. Therefore, it will also be proposed to establish a marriage register. He said that after the implementation of this act, Sikh couples will be able to register their marriage legally.
