SANA’A November 15. 2022 (Saba) - Our Islamic religion calls for the revival of its pillars and teachings and to consider the weak, the poor and the needy as a priority that should be taken care of and taken such pillars and teachings into account.
Based on this priority and with regard to the youth class, it was necessary to develop appropriate solutions represented in facilitating “Achieving one half of one's religion” through the establishment of collective weddings aimed at immunizing young people and keeping them away from the dangers inherent in soft war and aggression conspiracies, embodying the teachings of Islam in facilitating marriage, reducing dowries as well as embodying the main purposes of this commendable trend.
Immunizing young men and women is a social and humanitarian issue that must be taken care of, given that marriage is the best way to build a family and a cohesive society based on purity, chastity, pride and dignity.
In this regard, the General Authority for Zakat held on Monday, 06 Rabee Akhr 1444 AH, corresponding to 31 Oct. 2022 in the capital Sana’a the third and largest collective wedding in the region and in the world for 10, 044 brides and grooms, who were distributed over 18 provinces, including the occupied provinces of Shabwa, Abyan and Lahj, of the poor and needy, the elderly, people with special needs, war wounded, prisoners, sons of martyrs and fighters people and students.
The wedding was not limited to the people of Yemen but also included about 100 grooms from the Arab and Islamic communities, including seven grooms from Sudan, 53 grooms from the Ethiopian community, 32 grooms from the Somali community, and eight grooms from the Eritrean community, which made this occasion unique from its predecessors.
The cost of the mass wedding for this year amounted to about Y.R 5 billion as the General Authority for Zakat pays Y.R 850,000 to each groom as a marriage dowry.. which reflects an image of steadfastness in the face of aggression and its unjust siege, enhances the bond of brotherhood and embodies the interest that everyone attaches to face the soft war.
It must be emphasized that the Duty imposes on us as a Yemeni Muslim society to work on embodying our identity, belonging and faith commitments by holding weddings and to avoid at the same time what affects our identity or constitutes damage to the Muslim community and at the same time to avoid manifestations of extravagance and other negatives that are incompatible with identity and religious values.
The leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, in his speech during the public ceremony of the third mass wedding, in which he stressed the need to pay attention to facilitating marriage and reducing its costs at the level of dowries to ease its costs that burden the poor. The obligations that are added to marriage are burdens that burden the large class of society, the poor and make the issue of marriage difficult, and this is what the enemies of Islam and Muslims want, who seek to exploit the complexities of marriage to spread corruption through their soft war, which is a demonic and corrupting war.
Al-Houthi explained that giving Zakat has its great effects and great blessings and good results in souls and in the reality of life and it strengthens social ties, reduces the suffering of the poor and needy, addresses many life problems, fixes and stabilizes life, and make the people of this nation full from the need for its enemies who, if they give something, give it exploiting, with malicious aims and diabolical purposes, to strengthen their influence while harming society.
In the same context, the Mufti of Yemen, scholar Shams شl-Din Sharaf al-Din, blessed the newlyweds to complete half of their religion and rejoice at their wedding on this joyful day, calling the people in power, the local authorities, the sheikhs and the neighborhoods official-in-charges to seek to find covenants and contracts to reduce the exaggeration in the dowries, explaining that everyone should give the social field wide attention, in addition to the issue of people's needs, in order to ensure that young men and women do not fall into vice and walk on the wrong path.
