Nigerian conservative city turns to online matchmaking for love

Many young women in northern Nigeria's conservative Muslim city of Kano marry as early as 18. After waiting for years for a suitor, Aisha is frustrated and has turned now to enlist the services of an online matchmaker site to find a husband of her dreams: rich and educated. Matchmaking websites are booming in Kano, blending traditional methods with artificial intelligence. "This is the right place to ask for help in finding a person to marry," Aisha, using a pseudonym, told AFP inside Northern Halal Marriage online matchmaking office.
