The Gujarat government's proposal, announced on February 20, 2026, by Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi, seeks to amend the Gujarat Registration of Marriages Act, 2006.
It aims to make parental involvement compulsory in the marriage registration process for all couples, particularly targeting concerns over "love jihad," fraud in love marriages/elopements, and protecting women's dignity and "sanatan dharma.
The government claims it's not against love marriages but seeks transparency and safeguards against misuse. This would make Gujarat the first Indian state to mandate such official parental notification for all marriage registrations.
Critics argue it violates Article 21 of the Constitution (right to life, liberty, and personal autonomy), as upheld by Supreme Court rulings affirming adults' freedom to choose partners without family veto.
Legal experts see it as an indirect curb on interfaith/intercaste unions.The proposal is currently a draft; the government invited public suggestions for 30 days and plans a committee to review feedback before finalizing. It responds to earlier demands from groups like Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti members in 2025.
