The incident happened after the daughter of the woman, Aisha, rejected her suitor, an action that generated a lot of controversy as a result of which the Hisbah Board set up a committee to investigate the matter.
The committee which investigated the controversy surrounding the marriage submitted its report on Tuesday evening.
Presenting the report, Chairman of the committee, who doubles as deputy commander in charge of special operations, Hussain Ahmed explained that the committee had found out that the marriage is legal and had fulfilled all the necessary criteria.
He explained that the lady, Khadija Rano was divorced by her former husband, and had observed the three months waiting period (iddah) prescribed by Islam, and later married a man whom her biological daughter had earlier rejected.

Ahmed dismissed the rumours that Khadijah was seeing her new husband while married, and that she instigated her husband to divorce her to marry her daughter’s suitor.
He hinted that the marriage is legal according to Islam, saying it was the reason the Hisbah commander in Rano local government area supported and took part in the wedding rites.
Responding, the Commander General of the Hisbah Board, Sheikh Harun Ibn Sina, commended the committee for discharging its duties effectively.
He maintained that the committee members were carefully selected, due to their vast knowledge on Islamic teachings and societal orientation.
Ibn Sina charged the public to desist from spreading fake news and avoid misconceptions on issues regarding Islam.

He advised them to seek for knowledge, as Islam is a religion that set aside jurisdictions regarding marriage, family life and all other related issues of human endeavor.
Recall that last week the social media was awashed with reports about a woman that ended her marriage to marry her daughter’s rejected suitor.
