ARRESTED WEDDING IN QUARANTINE

The South African police taking away both the bride and the bridegroom for defying the lockdown orders.

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 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.

South African law enforcement officers arrest lockdown breakers.

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.

MARRIAGE TODAY, SEPARATION OR DIVORCE TOMORROW

Divorce is now very common in today's society.



Hundreds of couples, particularly on Sundays at wedding ceremonies, make vows and promises to each other. After the wedding or even a traditional marriage, it starts a big celebration together with family and friends, with a couple full of hopes and dreams. 


As a matter of fact, marriage is a journey not only full of happiness but also pain, tragedies, misery, sadness, and uncertainty. What are the causes of marriage failure?

Even though there are articles, seminars on how couples to spend a happy time together, and thousands of books on the road to a happy marriage, there is always a failure in many marriages. 

There are many reasons leading to many breakups of marriages, but most reasons are not spending enough time together, cheating, and allowing bitterness and resentment to build in couples' hearts.

The results of some bitter separations and divorces could be disastrous. Some breakups of marriages had led partners to mental institutions, and others, after a long time, still find it difficult to come to terms with what had happened to them. 

If children are involved, some are badly affected depending on how old they are.

Unfortunately, many couples do not recognize the Holy Bible as one of the best books that could guide marriage to happiness. Gen 49:4, Mal 2:14, Matt 23:30, Deut 24:5, Mark 12:23, etc, all speak about marriages.

Wealth doesn't guarantee a happy marriage. The same thing also applies to the poor. It is commitment, trust, and love that could build a happy marriage. 

That is the reason the greatest commandment of all the commandments is "Love thy neighbor as thyself".
