New Delhi, Mar 10 : Law and Justice Minister H R Bhardwaj on Monday said that Government is planning to bring in a Special Marriage Act for the Sikhs.

Bhardwaj said, "the government has taken note of demands from various Sikh organisations and there should not be a problem in introducing such an act.

He said the government has no plans to make registration of Hindu marriages compulsory under the law, while answering a question.
