Assam Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah said, "A very important decision has been taken in line with that. The Assam Muslim Marriage & Divorce Registration Act, 1935, will be repealed and no Muslim marriage or divorce will be registered under the Act. We want all such matters to be under the Special Marriage Act."
