Unlike Imo state and some other exorbitant bride price states in Nigeria, Sokoto state has come bearing good news for intending grooms with their new bill which proposes to include mosquito net as part of the bride price.
On a serious note, the state Ministry of Health says it plans to send a bill to the state House of Assembly where suitors would be compelled to add a well treated mosquito net as part of their bride price they would pay before they get their brides.The state Commissioner for health, Balarabe Kakale, disclosed this on Sunday.
Kakale however stated that the proposed law would be sent to the house after the cultural, Islamic implications of the premarital testing are extensively considered. He noted that the measures were meant to reduce the spread of diseases in the state..
