Union Cabinet approved amendments to the Anand Marriage Act, 1909 to provide for registration of Sikh marriages. Sikh couples could get their marriages registered under the Anand Marriage Act, 1909, instead of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Cabinet also approved the introduction of a Bill to amend the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969, to include registration of marriages as well.

The amendment will allow couples to get their marriages registered independent of their religion.
