Couple, 33 and 104, Reportedly Marry

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — 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.

Love is strange.

Is this somehow related to Anna Nicole and the Supremes?

Okay, I know I posted to this thread, linking to a thread I started with the same topic. My post and my thread are gone. Not that I particularly care, but what gives??

I saw this one first, so I deleted the other one. Was your's first? If so, sorry! Just trying to cut down on unnecessary, duplicate threads.

[Aggie87]

No worries Jim. My post disappeared, which made me wonder if there were problems with the database. Then I decided to look for my thread and found it gone as well. Figured that's probably what you did. Thanks...

I want to know what happened to the previous 20 husbands she had- did she outlive them all, or did they(clears throat) disappear somehow?

Age ain't nothing but a number.

She's married TWENTY times before? I would do some investigation into the circumstances of those earlier deaths if I were this guy. But they say love is blind.
