This proposed bill is a significant step towards ensuring that our electoral system reflects the values of integrity, fairness, and justice. By advocating for monogamy as an essential criterion for election eligibility, you are championing the cause of transparency and ethical conduct in our political landscape, she added.
In Arunachal, women are often used for political reasons. One often hears that polygamous marriages are essential for becoming a successful leader, which is far from the truth.
Some of the political leaders who are known for their high moral attributes are known to be monogamous. Therefore, we firmly believe that this bill will go a long way in busting the myth that multiple marriages are essential to succeed in politics.

She stated that “ The Arunachal Pradesh Women Welfare Society, stand firmly behind Ninong Ering in this endeavour and pledge our support for the successful passage of the Arunachal Pradesh Monogamy-Election-Eligibility Bill 2023. Ering’s dedication to the welfare of our state’s citizens, especially women, is truly inspiring, and we believe that this bill will mark a significant milestone in our legislative history.
