Railways Minister Mazibul Hoque has finally tied the knot at the age of 67. The marriage took place at bride Honufa Akter Rikta’s village home in Comilla’s Chandina on Friday afternoon.
Hoque had described his wife as a “simple village girl from a good family, who is religious and always moves around in a Burkha.”
The minister reached Comilla in the afternoon accompanied by nearly 700 people.
Several TV channels telecast the ceremony live.
The village wore a festive look and everyone seemed jubilant. Several of the minister’s sister-in-laws gathered at the gate to greet him. Eighty people from among the bride’s relatives were specifically assigned to serve the guests. Although there were arrangements to entertain 2,000 guests, the number was no less than 5,000.
