Saudi Women Start Campaign Against Late Night Weddings

Apparently many Saudi women believe that late night weddings are highly inconvenient, so they’re campaigning and holding workshops to try and change this tradition. According to [1] Arab News:
Midnight weddings annoy many people, including husbands and drivers who have to ferry the women folk home, and the elderly who are unable to stay up late. In order to encourage people to hold weddings earlier in the day, members of the Women’s Cultural Forum have started a campaign entitled “Our Weddings Are for Our Happiness.”
Seriously though? Out of all the issues that Saudi women currently face, we find a campaign against … late night weddings? Strikes me as a bit insane.
What do you guys think?
