  • 112-year Old Man Marries a 17-year Old Girl

    Okay that's like, 95 years of age difference... A man from Somalia, Ahmed Muhamed Dore, just married a 17-year old girl. This is his 6th marriage. The man has had 5 other wives and has 18 kids. He would like to have some more children with his new wife, he says. He's already got 100 grandchildren. His oldest son is 80 years old. Three of his wives have passed away.

    The bride's family says that she's very happy with her new husband. Hundreds of people were there to attend the wedding. He says he didn't force the 17-year old girl to marry her. He simply used his experience to show her how much he loves her.

    What are your thoughts on this? Do you think this should be illegal, even if it's Somalia we're talking about? Do you think the bride was forced to do this, was she desperate or is it true love?
