Bahrain Mirror: The Al-Bilad newspaper owned by Ali bin Khalifa, the Prime Minister's son, said that Bahrain Polytechnic university held a wedding for one of the university's foreign counselors in one of its halls.

The local newspaper added that it managed to get a video showing "a group of employees who work in the academic development department with the husband, who works as a counselor for development of the curricula there, standing in the middle and his wife sitting in front of him wearing a bright green garment."

"Four female employees were shown in the video holding the four corners of the garment, including the acting director of the academic development department. The employees were waving the veil up and down while singing some popular traditional songs," the newspaper further stated.

The newspaper explained that one of Polytechnic employees said that "the husband is an employee in the college, however, his wife is not. Their entrance to the campus of the college was organized in order to hold this ceremony, as it was made as a surprise for the husband," pointing out that "the executive administration did not take any administrative or legal measures against the violators, even though this explicit violation of the civil service law, its executive regulations and the college's regulations of administrative work took place months ago."

The newspaper also announced that "the acting director of the academic development department published a video on her Facebook page, which enabled other employees to share this video among each other amid wide frustration among university employees."
