In an effort to curb the rising cases of divorce and other marital challenges, the Bauchi State Government has announced plans to establish a Pre-Marital Education Institute.
The initiative aims to equip intending couples with the necessary knowledge and guidance required to build stable, successful, and lasting marriages.
It is promoted by the Office of the First Lady in collaboration with the State Shari’a Commission.
