Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday announced plans to introduce the anti-polygamy bill in the state assembly in December to ban polygamy, the practice of marrying multiple spouses. A legal committee has already been formed to examine the state government's authority to ban polygamy, and public opinion has shown strong support for the bill, he said. Sarma further said that the bill would have provisions that would help in stopping "Love Jihad" in the state.
