Who needs a husband!!!

Put your hands down desperate. This story is for women who were divorcees in Kano State Nigeria. Pretty interesting being that they marry so young divorcees are often overlooked.However, according to BBC Africa, 1000 couples are to be wed in the mass wedding. Medical screenings for AIDS have been performed on the couples. The Hizba board,  main islamic authority in Kano state, started this to  stop what it calls the massive homelessness and begging in their streats after women are divorced from their husbands. It's an arranged marriage, and if the couples choose to divorce afterward they must have permission from the Hizba board.
