Islamic Nigerian State Arranges Marriages for HIV-Positive Couples
A Nigerian state governed by Islamic law has arranged marriages for
140 HIV-positive men and women. The government's argument is that
it's pairing up people with HIV in order to battle the "isolation
and stigma" of HIV and prevent the spread of the virus. At least one
HIV-positive groom appeared to agree, at least on record: "If we
should fear God, we should stop spreading the HIV virus through
indiscriminate marriage, thereby infecting innocent people," he
said. "Marrying someone with the same HIV status will reduce the
spread of the scourge."
