Assam Government Announces Salary Deduction for Employees with Second Marriage Khowahti: The Assam government has issued a directive stating that public sector employees who enter into a second marriage without legally divorcing their first spouse will face a 20% deduction from their salary. This announcement was made by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who emphasized that the policy aims to address issues related to marital fidelity and financial accountability. According to the directive, any government employee found to have married a second woman without obtaining a legal divorce from their first wife will have 20% of their monthly salary withheld. The deducted amount will be transferred to the bank account of the employee’s first wife, as per the official statement. Sarma warned that this measure is intended to serve as a deterrent against unethical behavior and to uphold the sanctity of marital commitments. The policy applies to all government employees, including those in administrative, educational, and healthcare sectors. The directive was released in response to growing public concern over cases of bigamy and its potential impact on family stability. Sarma stated that the decision was made after consultations with legal experts and social welfare officials to ensure it aligns with both legal and ethical standards. The announcement has sparked mixed reactions among citizens. While some support the measure as a necessary step to prevent financial exploitation and promote marital responsibility, others argue that it infringes on personal freedoms and could lead to unintended consequences. Critics have also raised questions about the enforcement mechanism, including how the government will verify the marital status of employees and ensure compliance.#himanta_biswa_sarma #public_sector_employees #assam_government #second_marriage #marital_fidelity
