JAMMU, FEBRUARY 05 :Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today tabled the Jammu and Kashmir Anand Marriage Registration Rules, 2023 in the Legislative Assembly, marking an important step towards strengthening legal and regulatory compliance in the Union Territory.
The Jammu and Kashmir Anand Marriage Registration Rules, 2023, presented by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, have been framed under the Anand Marriage Act of 1909, making the registration of Anand marriages a statutory requirement.
