Led by the Chairperson of the Zamfara Widows Association, Hajiya Suwaiba Isa and their patron Alhaji Sa'idu Goshe, the women said they were not living a normal life and needed husbands to become whole.
"Many of us cannot afford two meals in a day because there are no men to support us," they said.
The patron, said the association has over 8,000 women, comprising 5,380 divorcees, 2,200 widows, 1,200 orphans and 80 others, whom he said, were looking for men to marry.
He said the women also needed assistance to purchase household items such as beds, mattresses and other basic necessities needed to move to their husband houses.
Goshe appealed to the commission to assist the association in screening suitors for the women.
He said the screening would determine the suitors health status, source of livelihood and ability to maintain a family.
Responding, the Chairman of the commission, Dr Atiku Zawuyya, commended the association for the initiative, saying it would assist in ridding the society of women of easy virtues.
Zawuyya promised to present the matter to the state government for necessary action, but urged the patron to also set up a similar body for men to make the pairing exercise easier.

ReplyDeleteIslam is a useless religion. They don"t allow their women to receive education so that in the future they can fend for themselves. They divorce their women easily and marry them so young that by the time they are 30years old, they discard them like used commodity. Just like Yerima did, they will then marry a baby. God will judge them all!! Who will take care of these women now? Girls go to school!! There are only few men now that take care of their women. Most men are now even marrying women for money. The world has turned upside down!!
