"UCC needs to be implemented to stop system of four marriages": Himanta Sarma in Karnataka

Kodagu (Karnataka) [India], May 6 Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday said that the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code is important in the state for ending the system of men making "four marriages" and women being made "child producing machines".
The Assam CM was holding a roadshow in Shanivarasanthe Madikeri in the Kodagu district of Karnataka, as part of the campaign for the BJP.
Addressing the people, the Assam CM said, "We also have to make Uniform Civil Code. Muslim women and daughters are made to marry over four times. Is it a system? Such a rule should not exist in the world. We have to bring Uniform Civil Code and end this system".
"Muslim daughters should be made doctors, and engineers, not child-producing machines. BJP has promised of working on Uniform Civil Code if voted to power. I would like to thank the BJP for that," he added.
