About
10,000 Muslim women who desire to be married and have not found the man yet,
have registered for a mass wedding ceremony in Kano state. The Hizba board
which is the main Islamic authority in the state, have over the years arranged
mass weddings in a bid to reduce the number of single women in the state.
The Islamic board introduces the women to possible husbands
and leaves it to them to make the final decision. Most of the women who
register with the board say they have searched endlessly for a partner but
couldn't find. They turned to the board for help.
Some others say they have suitors but no money to do their wedding. The Hizba
board is yet to announce a date for the mass wedding. A total of 5,000 men and
women have been married since mass weddings were introduced in Kano in 2012.Labels: 000 Single women who desire to be married register for mass wedding in Kano, 10, Mass wedding
