Over 100 couples tie the knot in a Mexico prison

Report by Sarah Johnston

Over a hundred couples have been married in a Mexico prison.

The mass wedding was held in the Centre for Social Rehabilitation in the city of Ciudad Juarez.

Its aim is to give inmates an opportunity to rebuild their lives after they are released.

After the ceremony, couples were allowed to take photographs showing their marriage registries.

Several other mass weddings have taken place at the same prison, 68 couples have tied the knot over the last two years.
