“During the search, the money was found inside the pocket of the waliyyi. who said he didn’t know how they got into his pocket.
“On getting the money, the waliyyi was chased out of the mosque as he could not stand for the bride as her representative. His younger brother was assigned to stand for her and the wedding went on.”
