"In the context of respect for human value and diversity, and in particular respect for religious freedom, a traditional Muslim wedding was held at the Prison Department, observing all religious customs.

The wedding was performed by the Imam and was attended by relatives of our detainee and his wife, their child, as well as our detainees. In the same context, several religious weddings and baptisms of Christian Orthodox, Catholics and Evangelists have taken place, as well as civil weddings and the Cohabitation Agreement between foreigners and Cypriots.
