10,000 Muslim women in Kano state have registered with the state's Hizba board so as to enable them meet prospective husbands .
The Hisbah board has over the years arranged mass weddings in a bid to reduce the number of single women in the state. The board introduces the women to prospective husbands.
Some of the those registered have suitors but no money to do their wedding ceremony. The Hizba board is expected to offset part of the financial obligations associated with wedding ceremonies. A total of 5,000 men and women have been married since mass weddings were introduced in Kano in 2012.
PUNCH is reporting that a date is yet to be fixed for a new ceremony due to the present economic situation in the country. To resume mass weddings, the Hisbah wants funding from the private sector and wealthy individuals.
