150 cohabiting couples and their families braved the blazing sun at the Serani Sports Grounds in Mombasa to solemnise their marriages in a colourful Muslim mass wedding.
The brides dressed in black buibui (a Muslim women's garment), and the bridegrooms in white kanzus sat pensively in tents waiting for the nikah (the officiation of marriage).
The ground was filled with ululation and celebration galore after Sheikh Omar Buya finalised the marriage ceremony on behalf of Chief Kadhi, who couldn't attend due to work exigencies.
Before the mass wedding organised by Mama Beauty Foundation, the couples underwent premarital counselling to have solid marriages.
