Sanusi presides over 1,500 widows’ mass wedding (Punch)

The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, on Sunday presided over the mass wedding of 1,500 couples from the 44 local government areas of the state.

Sponsored by the Kano State   Government, the formal consummation of the marriage was held at the Kano City Central Mosque, after screening of the couples by the Kano Hisbah Board.

Sanusi said it had been a remarkable blessing for the widows and their life partners to get married, adding that no woman could ever earn respect and honour without being under the custody of a husband.
