The Deputy Commander of the Kano State Hisbah Board, Mujahideen Aminuddeen, says the state’s mass wedding programme is open to both Muslims and Christians who are interested in participating.
Aminuddeen disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Kano on Wednesday while explaining the eligibility criteria for participants.
According to him, three Christian couples participated in the last mass wedding conducted in October 2023.
He said preparations were ongoing for the next edition but noted that he could not yet confirm whether any Christian couples had indicated interest in participating.
Aminuddeen said the mass wedding, now known as “Auren Gata,” meaning “marriage for the privileged,” is open to widows, widowers, divorcees, spinsters and bachelors.
