The couple was very sad when they discovered this. Ibrahim shared the news on Facebook, saying it was a very difficult decision to make.
In his post, Ibrahim wrote: "Dear friends and family, I am very sorry to announce that my wedding has been canceled. We found out that our genotypes are not compatible, and it is too risky for us to get married. This news has broken my heart into a million pieces."
He also posted pictures of their wedding invitation, which had a red line drawn across it to show that the wedding had been canceled.
People React to the News
Many people who saw the post on Facebook shared their sadness and prayed for the couple. Here are some of their comments:
Abubakar Sadeeq Finisher: "I am so sorry to hear this news. I pray that God comforts you."
Itz Yahaya Adam Tulu: "This is very sad news. But everything happens for a reason. May God bless you."
Mahmood Abdullahi: "May God give you the strength to handle this and bless you with new love."
Usaman Salisu: "I feel your pain. May God replace this sadness with joy for both of you."
Why This Happened
The reason for the cancellation is because when two people with AS genotype get married, there is a high chance that their children could have a serious illness called sickle cell disease. This illness can cause a lot of pain and health problems.
This sad story reminds everyone why it is important to check genotypes before getting married. We pray that Ibrahim and Fatimah find peace and happiness in the future.
