The Sindh Human Rights Commission (SHRC) continues its efforts to ensure the effective implementation of the Sindh Hindu Marriage (Amendment) Act, 2018. In its latest initiative, a meeting was convened for the Karachi division, chaired by Mr. Iqbal Ahmed Detho, Chairperson of SHRC, and Co-Chaired by Mr. Sukhdev Assardas Hemnani, Board Member - SHRC.
The meeting brought together key stakeholders, including representatives from the Local Government Department, Social Welfare Department, Government of Sindh, Minorities Affairs Department, Women Development Department Sindh, and NADRA.
Together, they discussed strategies and plans to ensure the registration of Hindu and Sikh marriages, a critical step in protecting the rights of minority communities.
SHRC is actively sensitizing communities and urging authorities to implement this law effectively. Proper marriage registration under the Act will not only uphold human rights but also help address the grave issue of forced conversions and protect minority women from being remarried into another faith against their will.
