Supreme Court Refers Mizo Woman's Challenge on Marriage Law Amendments to Gauhati High Court
The Supreme Court directed a Mizo woman challenging the 2026 amendments to the Mizo Marriage and Inheritance of Property Act to file her petition in the Gauhati High Court instead of Delhi. The amendments, which ban polygamy and grant women 50% of matrimonial property, have raised concerns for potentially stripping Mizo women of their identity and Scheduled Tribe status if they marry non-Mizo men. The petitioner alleges these changes discriminate against such women and affect their children's rights.
