Mass Wedding Hit Kano State as 100 Women Were Given Away to Available Suitors.....

As part of an Islamic police programme aimed at promoting stable families; today one hundred couples tied the marriage knot at a mass wedding at the main mosque in Kano State, Nigeria’s second-largest city. The wedding was a product of
a Hisbah programme seeking to match divorced and widowed women looking to re-marry with available men.
However, hundreds of Kano residents mainly Muslim north, thronged outside the central mosque for the wedding of divorcees and widows attended by the city’s traditional chief and government officials.
The brides were the first set of 1,000 divorcees and widows the sharia police, known as the Hisbah, screened for marriage to available suitors.
The Grooms to be were dressed in flowing white robes as a Hisbah official read off the names of the couples at the cavernous mosque.
The brides were represented by the emir of Kano, Ado Bayero, and the grooms by a senior government official on behalf of state governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
