In Yemen for the bride require a million likes

Salem Ayyash, a poet from the city of Taiz in Yemen, shook the Muslim society, asking the future husband of his daughter an unusual ransom: one million likes on Facebook. That's a lot for a country with a population of 25 million people, and the use of the Internet is limited.
The story raised a lot in the local media, bloggers write posts in support of the bride and groom and ask to put the huskies poems and posts Ayyash, that wedding happened. According to the newspaper Al-Ayyam, such precedents had not arisen.



Commentators on personal and public pages on Facebook Ayyash was divided into those who supported his intention to draw attention to the problem and those who reproached the poet's desire to be known for his daughter. The Ayyash assured journalists that it will not rigidly adhere to the specified conditions: "If I see that he tried, I can go on concessions to see them in a happy marriage."
The inability to build a decent ransom for the wedding is currently a major social problem in Yemen, whose population is guided by the Muslim traditions. Increasingly, problems occur when the amount that is needed for the bride that borrow from the neighbors, are becoming increasingly popular mass marriages.
