The mass wedding ceremony is scheduled for November 24 under the patronage of Sharjah’s Crown Prince.
Sharjah: Sharjah Charity Association has approved 150 applicants for its 12th mass wedding initiative, with preparations completed for the ceremony scheduled to take place on November 24 at Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre.
The ceremony will be held under the patronage of Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the Sharjah Executive Council, as the UAE prepares to celebrate its 55th Eid Al Etihad.
The annual initiative aims to support young people preparing to marry by easing the financial burden of starting a family and helping them establish stable households.
Ali Mohammed Al Rashdi, Chairman of the Higher Committee for the Mass Wedding Project, said the committee had completed its review of applications and approved 150 participants following a thorough assessment of their documents and social research reports.
The assessment process was designed to identify the most deserving applicants and verify that they met the programme’s eligibility criteria for participation and financial assistance.
Al Rashdi said preparations for the ceremony had also been completed, adding that all beneficiaries whose applications were approved by the association’s Aid Committee had been notified of their selection.
Ahead of the ceremony, the association will organise an awareness lecture for the grooms covering key aspects of married life, including family responsibilities and the importance of building stable relationships.
The session aims to better prepare participants for their responsibilities as they embark on married life and begin building their families.
