No fewer than 1,000 widows and
divorcees slated for mass marriage by the Kano Hisbah three weeks ago have
called on Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to marry them off immediately.
Findings by our correspondent
in Kano revealed that some of the widows, comprising young ladies and divorces
shortlisted, are among the 1,000 to be married off in the exercise’s third
batch.
Some of the widows, who spoke
with Blueprint at the Sharada office of Kano Hisbah Board, said before they
applied to be listed but had finished their mandatory three month “Iddah”
period to purify their marriage, but now that the marriage programme has been
put off indefinitely, they may be tempted to have sex again
“When the date slated for the
third batch of the programme was cancelled Hisbah did not say they will camp
us, they allowed us to go to our individual homes and wait for further
announcement, meaning more days of waiting”, one of them said.
