The couple
After
his wife died, a 92-year-old man decided to take a young woman as his wife.
Musali
Mohammed Al-Mujamaie of Iraq, who is a father of 16 children, married a woman,
70 years his junior.
Al-Mujamaie,
got married to the 22-year-old woman in a ceremony on Thursday at his home in
the village of Gubban near Baghdad.
The
elaborate ceremony continued for four hours and included music and dance performances
and celebratory gunfire.
The
grandfather was not the only one who got married that night at his house, he
shared his special night with two of his grandchildren, aged 16 and 17. The two
got married during the ceremony alongside their grandfather.
Al-Mujamaie
said that this special day had been a long-awaited event as the wedding of his
grandchildren had been postponed several times so they can get married the same
time as him.
"I
am very happy to get married with my grandchildren, and I feel like a
20-year-old again,” Al-Mujamaie said.
Al-Mujamaie
had raised his 16 children in his hometown of Gubban with his first wife. His
first wife, who died three years ago, had been with him for 58 years.
Local tribal and religious
leaders attended the wedding of the three family members
