Couple, 33 and 104, Reportedly Marry
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - A 33-year-old man in northern Malaysia has married a 104-year-old woman, saying mutual respect and friendship had turned to love, a news report said Tuesday.
It was Muhamad Noor Che Musa's first marriage and his wife's 21st, according to The Star newspaper which cited a report in the Malay-language Harian Metro tabloid.
Muhamad, an ex-army serviceman said he found peace and a sense of belonging after meeting Wook Kundor, whom he said he initially sympathized with because she was childless, old and alone, the report said.
"I am not after her money, as she is poor," Muhamad reportedly said. "Before meeting Wook, I never stayed in one place for long."
He said he hoped to help his new bride to master Roman script while she taught him Islamic religious knowledge.
The report did not say if any of Wook's previous 20 husbands are still alive.
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. Muslim women do not practice polygamy.
Malaysia's 26 million population comprises about 60 percent Muslims, almost all ethnic Malays. Large ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities are Buddhists, Hindus or Christians.
Remember "Harold & Maude"? Was a cute movie and no one ever
would have objected to their relationship.
But, Harold and Maude didn't marry..... not that it matters.
I'm curious about the woman's previous 20 (20!) marriages.
Things that make ya go hum?
Don't understand it, but if he's found peace....he's found the one thing that hundreds are in search for on a daily basis.
Think of all the toasters she must own.
at 104, i am willing to bet she has outlived most of her husbands.
more then likely just doesnt want to be alone. I dont blame her.
now, if this were a 104 year old MAN and a 33 year old woman.. i wonder if people in the media would be bashing him or praising him?
Thanks for the pic, Phoenix. :wink:
Well, she's toothless-- so she's got that going for her!
Maybe she's really good in bed.
As weird as this is, I was actually thinking about this couple while I was in bed last night , tossing and turning with an ear infection.
What is the appeal of her to this man? The only thing I can think of is Love. Love of a universal order - someone to care, give attention, and be a home.
It's nice that they are happy. That's the important thing.
For their honeymoon they will be going white water rafting at the Upper Klamath River
Hello! She's toothless and she'll die soon. That's a fantasy for most men. Now, if she were a brewery heiress, she'd be batting 1000.
