Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that if Muslim women and mothers have to be given honour in the society, after the Triple Talaq (law), the Uniform Civil Code has to be put in place.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has strongly pitched for implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the country, saying no Muslim woman wants her husband to have three wives.
Mr Sarma in New Delhi on Sunday also met Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who recently said his BJP government would prepare the draft of a UCC to be implemented in the northern state.
The Assam chief minister said all Muslims whom he has met wanted the UCC.
"No Muslim woman wants her husband to have three wives. No one wants this. You can ask any Muslim woman. No one would tell you that her husband should marry three women. Who wants this," he told reporters in Delhi on Saturday.
