The Rajasthan Assembly has passed a bill to amend the Rajasthan Compulsory Registration of Marriages Act, 2009, which makes the registration of marriages, including child marriages, mandatory. However, the opposition registered a strong protest against the bill with the BJP leaders walking out of the house. "By a show of hands, we will be permitting child marriages," BJP MLA Ashok Lahoti said while calling it a Black Day.
