The coronavirus has brought sorrow into the world but not everyone wants this new disease to make them unhappy. Despite the destructive impact of the virus, many think it’s time to tie the knot around the globe.


At a party in the coastal province of KwaZulu-Natal, following a wedding, the police suddenly raced to the scene to arrest the bride and groom, their 50 guests, and the pastor who led the ceremony. The whole wedding company was delivered to the site.

It turned out that before the arrest, the police received a message about the wedding, which shouldn’t have taken place in the public, due to a nationwide ban on all public gatherings during the pandemic.

The enforcement authorities announced that the newlyweds will spend their honeymoon in strict conditions. The bride and groom with their entire large retinue were released on bail. The police will consider a case of violation of the quarantine regime after its completion.

In South Africa, more than 1,749 confirmed cases of coronavirus have been reported, including 13 deaths. Now the country is experiencing the second week of one of the toughest quarantines in the world.

Authorities have banned the purchase of alcohol and cigarettes and they allowed people to go out only in the most extreme cases.

Meanwhile, the South African authorities have arrested over 17,000 people for defying lockdown.
