Harmony In Setif, Algeria

Echorouk Online Reports:

According to an instruction issued by the Algerian Religious Affairs Ministry, imams are not allowed to perform marriage services (to register a fatiha marriage) only if the marriage is registered in wedding registry office.

I thought they had already dealt with this situation. Apparently, there was a problem with marriages going unregistered which left the women unprotected in the case of divorce or death of her husband.
