Couple, 33 and 104, Reportedly Marry
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - 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.
