Supporting the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Saturday, 30 April, that no Muslim woman wanted her husband to have three other wives.
"Everybody wants UCC. No Muslim woman wants her husband to bring home three other wives. Ask any Muslim woman," he said.
Sarma also said that if Muslim women were to be given justice, then the implementation of the UCC in the state was a must.
"UCC is not my issue, it is an issue for all Muslim women. If they are to be given justice, after the scrapping of triple talaq, UCC will have to be brought," he added.
