Clause in draft Hindu marriage bill creates controversy |
2016-02-15 |
[DAWN] A clause in the draft Hindu Marriage Bill, which states that a marriage will be annulled if any of the spouses converts to another religion, is being vehemently contested by both its opponents and supporters. However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... seeking an end to the controversy, Senator Nasreen Jalil, the chairperson of the Senate standing committee on law and justice, has convened a meeting of the committee to take up the matter. The draft bill has already been passed by the National Assembly standing committee on law and justice. |
