Man, 33, Marries 104-Year-Old Woman
from my Eyewitness News:
A 33-year-old Malaysian man who married a 104-year-old woman said it was "God's will" that he tie the knot with someone old enought to be his great grandmother. For her part, the bride said she hoped the marriage would last.
"It may seem strange to those who don't understand us but I have found peace since we got married two months ago," Muhammad Noor Che Musa was quoted as saying.
It was his first marriage and his wife's 21st. The report did not say if any of Wook's Kundor's previous 20 husbands are still alive.
Muhammad, who was a lodger in Wook's house, said he initially felt sorry for her as she was lonely but over time his feelings had grown stronger despite the 71-year age gap.
He said many villagers near their home in northern Terengganu State did not understand his decision to marry Wook and some questioned his motives. "I know society is cynical but I didn't marry Wook for her money. She is poor," he said. "Her only asset is her deep religious knowledge. Through her I can deepen my knowledge of religion."
He said he hoped to help his new bride to master Roman script while she taught him Islamic religious knowledge.
Wook was quoted as saying: "I hope this marriage will last. I ask that people view our marriage in a positive light as we have not done anything this is forbidden by God."
Malaysian Muslim men are allowed by their religion to take up to four wives at a time, but reports of women who marry more than once are rare.

Ew, that's nasty. She probably has a hidden stash of money or something.

104? Could be, but don't forget that a lot of countries do not have such extensive records as here. Of some African athletes, who compete now, we can't even be certain of the year they were born!
