104 Year Old Marries

A 33-year-old Malaysian man has married a 104-year-old woman who claims to have been wed 20 times before, saying their union was the result of mutual respect and care, news reports said yesterday. Mohamed Noor Che Musa took Wook Kundor as his bride in February in northern Terengganu state. It was the former soldier’s first marriage.

Mohamed said the duo had started out as friends and initial feelings of sympathy for Wook, who is childless and lived alone, soon turned to love.

“This is Allah’s will,” the groom was quoted as saying. “My intention toward Wook is very sincere. I am not after her money as she is poor. Her only asset is her deep religious knowledge.”

Wook also expressed hopes that neighbours and friends would not judge their marriage.

“I hope people will view our marriage in a positive light as we have not done anything that is against the religion,” she said.

The report did not say if any of Wook’s previous 20 husbands are still alive.
