Twenty couples given marriage licenses
PURWOKERTO, Central Java: Twenty couples, who had earlier been married unofficially under the Islamic law (nikah siri), were given official marriage certificates during a mass wedding ceremony on Tuesday.
The couples, several of whom were over 50 years of age, were given the certificates during the event organized by Ajibarang district in Banyumas, ahead of the fasting month.
Ajibarang district head, Darwoso, said there were hundreds of couples who had been living together without official marriage certification.
“Because of limited funds, we could only provide certificates for 20 couples today,” he said.
