Supreme Court -Arichtelijn for states and UT, rules made within four months under Anand Vivah Act

New -Delhi, September 18 (IANS). The Supreme Court has ordered 17 states and 7 union areas of the country to make their respective rules for registration of the SIKH marriage (Anand Karaj) within the next four months. The court, which has a difficult stance in the case, said that the SIKH community was treated unevenly because it had not implemented this law for decades, which contradicted the principle of equality of the Constitution. The Supreme Court said the inequalities and obstacles that were in the registration of the marriage of Sikh couples across the country are against the soul of the Constitution. The court said that if rules are not made in all states and trade union areas, it will violate the rights of Sikh citizens. The court also ordered that the SIKH couple inform all the states their respective rules could register the marriage of ‘Anand Karaj’ in terms of general marriage laws. This includes rules such as special marriage law. At the same time, the court also said that if the couple would, then clearly written on their marriage certificate that they were married in ‘Anand Karaj’. This order was given by the Supreme Court at the trial of the petition of Amanjot Singh Chadha. The submiter said that SIKH couples were experiencing major problems due to a lack of marriage rules and inequality under the ‘Anand Marriage Act’ in different parts of the country. Some states have made rules, but most countries have not implemented them yet. After this order, the process of marriage registration under Anand Karaj is expected to become equal and simple. This step will protect the rights of the Sikh community and strengthen their social respect. The Supreme Court has given a clear time limit to the states and trade union areas, so that it must be notified within four months by drawing up rules. -Ians VKU/DKP shares this story tags
