ANSWER: Maharashtra
 
The law is going to be drafted by the end of May. In India, the marriages of Muslims, Catholics and Parsis are covered under Hindu Marriage act but not Buddhist marriages. Buddhist community is demanding separate marriage law for them since long. The first proposal for separate law was put forth in 2007 by then cabinet minister Nitin Raut.
