The elaborate two-day Mass Wedding ceremony started with the wedding fathia at the Kano Central Mosque, where an array of Islamic scholars, led by the Chief Imam of Kano, Prof.
Daurawa said the government fully undertook the funding of the entire process, which included the procurement of all the traditional wedding materials for the 1,800 couples, adding that the gesture was meant to reduce the financial burden on them. Yusuf noted that it behooves the government to channel necessary efforts within the limits of its resources to save the society from atrocities. He therefore cautioned the couples to consider the intervention as critical, advising them to hold the marital institution tenaciously as encapsulated in Islamic tenants.
Nevertheless, Ganduje eventually floated his administration’s version of the programme, first in 2017, where 1,520 couples were wedded and then in 2019, which saw 1,500 couples selected across the 44 councils of the state tie the nuptial knots. Again, the state intervention has been able to rescue intending couples from the economic burden required to procure the material needed ahead of marriage. In northern region, tradition requires the bride’s family to provide furniture, kitchen utensils and other house fittings for the marital home. All that is demanded of the groom is the apartment to accommodate the materials.
There are also those who believe that the mass wedding is all about politics, arguing that it is natural for those who are treated to such generosity to buy into the Kwankwasiyya philosophy. Kwankwaso has carved a political pedigree over the last three decades that essentially hinge on building and investing in human capital development, which has earned him, undiluted loyalty across the length and breadth of the state and beyond.
The Hisbah had also read a riot act to the new couples to henceforth report their difference to the government for possible resolution. The DG had warned that the government would also recover all valuables both material and cash in a situation where the couples break their marital contract and it gets to the knowledge of the Hisbah.
