The Arunachal Pradesh State Commission for Women (APSCW) headed by its chairperson Radhilu Chai Techi called on chief minister Pema Khandu at his office in Itanagar on Thursday.
Congratulating Khandu on his return to the chair of chief minister, the Commission members expressed hope that women-sensitive issues and welfare measures would see a quantum jump under his leadership.
Discussing on various issues related to women in the state, the Commission reiterated the necessity to make registration of marriages compulsory under law.
The chairperson said that hundreds of cases come to the Commission only related to marriages. She said due to lack of any registration, husband-wife disputes remain unresolved or partially resolved. She urged the government to come up with a feasible act under which all marriages are registered.
