Two Weddings Tenaciously Defy Vice Raid Rules
Two young women aged 19 and 20, and two soldiers, were married at Central Police Headquarters after a Saturday raid by the vice squad. The ceremonies, performed by a local minister with police and detectives as witnesses, followed a night of raids tied to anti vice enforcement. One bride had just hours earlier attempted suicide in custody, but was saved by medical care. The weddings were arranged to avoid open court prosecutions and were sanctioned by police and military authorities to preserve dignity and resolve the case.
