The Kano State Hisbah Board (KSHB) has taken significant steps to support the institution of marriage and combat societal vices by procuring furniture and other necessary materials for the upcoming mass wedding scheme. This initiative is part of the board's efforts to curtail poverty and promote stable family units.
Commander-General of the board, Sheikh Aminu Daurawa, expressed his satisfaction while inspecting the items procured for the event. The government has provided a budget of over N800 million to cover the purchase of clothing materials, food items, furniture, and other necessities.
Under this scheme, each bride will receive a set of furniture, including a bed, mattress, and pillows. In addition, they will be given N20,000 to kickstart a business venture. This financial support will empower the couples to build a stable foundation as they embark on their marital journey.
The KSHB's mass wedding scheme has garnered support from philanthropists who are keen on contributing their quota to the success of the event. With their assistance, 1,800 couples will benefit from this gesture, which aims to address the issue of postponed marriages due to financial constraints.
The Hisbah Board intends to announce the wedding date soon, allowing interested individuals and residents to contribute and support the noble cause. By involving the community in the event, the scheme aims to foster a sense of collective responsibility towards curbing societal vices and poverty.
Daurawa emphasized that strict criteria have been put in place for the selection of beneficiaries. This ensures that only deserving couples who genuinely need support are included in the scheme. Moreover, the board intends to hold individuals accountable if they divorce their spouses on frivolous grounds after benefiting from the mass wedding scheme.
The initiative taken by the Kano State Hisbah Board reflects the importance of marriage as an institution and its impact on society. By providing tangible support to couples who face financial challenges, the board aims to promote family stability, unity, and a reduction in societal vices.
Through gestures like these, communities can take proactive steps to address issues such as poverty and postponed marriages. The KSHB's mass wedding scheme sets an example for other states and organizations to prioritize support for couples in need.
