Mass Muslim Wedding

The couples exchanged garlands and performed marriage rituals. The 271 couples also include those from the Muslim community who got married in a nikkah ceremony.

The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has said it would help with the mass weddings for poor Muslim girls in the state. The state government will provide the venue free of cost, sources said. These would be Sadbhavna Mandaps -- community centres that would be built with Central funds in 49 districts of the state.

Malaysian Islamic authorities took their annual swipe at Valentine's Day on Friday, calling it a threat to Muslim values, but 138 couples took part in a mass wedding to mark the date.
