A 92-YEAR-OLD Iraqi farmer
married a woman 70 years
his junior in a village north of
Baghdad last week, as part of a
triple wedding ceremony in which
he was wed alongside two of his
teenage grandchildren who also
tied the knot.
Musali Mohammed al-Mujamaie
married 22-year-old Muna
Mukhlif al-Juburi on Thursday
evening, three years after the
death of his first wife of 58 years,
with whom he raised 16 children
in his home village of Gubban,
which lies just south of the central
Iraqi city of Samarra.
“I am so happy to get married
with my grandsons,” Mujamaie
told AFP after the ceremony.
“I feel like a 20-year-old!”
Mujamaie said the marriage was
repeatedly delayed so that the
three could tie the knot on the
same day.
The wedding, attended by
local tribal and religious leaders,
carried on for four hours, with
musical and dance performances
and celebratory gunfire.
It’s a great example of healthy
ageing - as long as the sprightly
nonagenarian survives the
wedding night.
THERE’S been a cholesterol alert
in the appropriately named Death
Valley in the USA, where tourists
are being asked to stop frying
eggs on the road in a sweltering
50 degree Celsius heatwave.
Authorities are concerned
because the travellers are
leaving behind a mess of runny
eggs, cartons and shells in the
area as they create their photo
opportunities.
