Description

The circular was issued by the Registration Directorate in 2014. The circular instructs all marriage registrars in the country that, since the Myanmar refugees living in districts close to Bangladesh-Myanmar border are non-residents, i.e. Myanmar nationals, there is no scope of registering their marriages with the local population. Hence, strict directive is being given to refrain from registering marriages between local population and Myanmar refugees living in Bangladesh. Legal measures will be taken if any nonconformity is observed.
