After decades of delay and inaction, Pakistan Government is expected to table the much- debated Hindu Marriage Bill at the next session of Parliament later this month, a media report said on Sunday.
The landmark legislation, which seeks to give a legal framework to the marriages in minority community, is expected to address key issues of the Hindu community, including matters relating to the registration of marriages, divorce and forced conversions, Human Rights Minister Kamran Michael said.
Michael is likely to table the bill at the next session of Parliament, Express Tribune reported. “It will be a historic day... And the credit goes to (both the) opposition and ruling parties which are on the same page on the draft (bill),” Michael said.
