10,000 Single women who desire to be married register for mass wedding in Kano

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.
