Mass wedding hits Kaduna, as 100 couples tie knots

One hundred wom­en, including wid­ows and divorcee were married off yesterday as part of the maiden mass wedding con­ducted in Kaduna State.
The development came as the state Governor, Alhaji Mukhtar Ramalan Yero said his government would spon­sor the next round of mass wedding in the state which would include both Muslims and Christians.

The mass wedding was organised by Darur Rahmah and officiated by Sultan Bello Mosque, Sheikh Balele Wali at Al-Mannar Juma’at Mosque in the state.
Sheikh Wali tasked the grooms and brides to fear Al­lah and take the marriage se­riously. He said marriage was the best thing that could hap­pen to any individual, saying it was now the responsibility of the grooms to feed and clothes their wives.
In his response, Chairman of Darur Rahmah in Kaduna, Sheikh Ishaq Yunus said the group has succeeded in con­ducting the marriage of 100 women including widows in the state.
