HC issues rule on marriage registration
The High Court (HC) yesterday issued a rule asking authorities concerned to explain in four weeks why it should not be compulsory to register marriages based on couple's national identification (ID) cards.
The court also asked the authorities to explain why rights of street children should not be incorporated into the newly proposed amendment to the child law.
The HC bench of Justice Farid Ahmed and Justice Zafar Ahmed issued the rules in response to two writ petitions filed on behalf of Bangladesh National Women Lawyers' Association on foiling child marriage and protecting rights of street children.
