Somali man, '112', weds girl, 17

Hundreds of people have attended a wedding in central Somalia between a man who says he is 112 years old, and his teenage wife.

Ahmed Muhamed Dore - who already has 18 children by five wives - said he would like to have more with his new wife, Safia Abdulleh, who is 17 years old.

"Today God helped me realise my dream," Mr Dore said, after the wedding in the region of Galguduud.

The bride's family said she was "happy with her new husband".

Mr Dore said he and his bride - who is young enough to be his great-great-grand-daughter - were from the same village in Somalia and that he had waited for her to grow up to propose.

"I didn't force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love; and then we agreed to marry," the groom said.

The BBC's Mohamed Olad Hassan in Mogadishu says the marriage in the town of Guriceel is being described by Somalian historians as the first of its kind in the Horn of Africa nation for over a century.

That's hot. Forced marriages ftw. I wonder how he convinced her? "Hey baby my balls hang lower than everyone else's in the village. Now marry me so we can have sex!"

 

19 kids...this guy gets a lot of action. I'm surprised he can still keep it up.



How rich is he? If I marry a rich 112 year old man can I have half of his wealth?



......ew.....money MUST be involved



She doesn't look to happy in that picture. Probably just wants his money and the old man wants something else.....

In the picture, he looks delighted, she looks miserable, and there is no way he's 112.
