Zamfara: 8,000 Women Cry For Help! WeNeed Men In Our Lives
Hisbah Commission seeking the state government’s
assistance to enable them get married.
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.
