Over 4000 intending couples register for mass wedding in Kano as state govt warns against divorce

The Hisbah Board in Kano has said over 4,000 prospective couples have registered to participate in the state-planned mass wedding scheduled for next month.

Hisbah Deputy Commander General , Mujahid Aminuddeen, told Daily Trust that the selected couples would be subjected to HIV/AIDS, genotype and drug tests before being drafted for the sponsored mass wedding next month. But when we briefed the governor on the issue, he assured us of the government’s commitment to continue with the programme. He even asked us to write and start processing for the next batch.

He further stated that due to the recent economic downturn plaguing the nation, many people wanted to participate in the mass wedding, especially girls and women whose parents tried to marry them off but could not afford the cost of preparing the wedding process.
