According to him, the initiative caters to widows, widowers, divorcees, bachelors, and spinsters who are unable to afford marriage expenses.
The Kano State Islamic police Hisbah Board has announced that Christians are eligible to participate in the state's upcoming government-sponsored mass wedding programme, despite the initiative being rooted in Islamic family values and supervised by the Sharia enforcement agency.
The Deputy Commander of the Kano Hisbah Board, Mujahideen Aminuddeen, disclosed that the programme, popularly known as "Auren Gata" (marriage for the privileged), is open to all qualified intending couples, regardless of religion.
Speaking in Kano, Aminuddeen recalled that three Christian couples participated in the last edition of the mass wedding held in October 2023.
He, however, said preparations for the next exercise were still underway and could not confirm whether any Christian couples had registered for this year's programme.
