Ahmed Muhamed Dore, a 112-year-old man from Somalia married a 17-year-old woman Safia Abdulleh, who is junior to him by a whopping 95 years. Dore says their love is mutual and that he still wants to have children with his teenage wife. Dore has over a 100 children and grandchildren from his previous five marriages.

Altogether, Mr Dore has 114 children and grandchildren. His oldest son is 80 years old and three of his wives have died.

The fact that a centenarian would marry a teenager is in itself astounding, but what is even more mind-boggling is how Ahmed Muhamed Dore has lived to be 112 years old in a country where average life expectancy for males is 52 years  and the chance of dying between 15 and 60 years old is over 30%.

Lets hope the love truly is mutual, a woman is free to marry whomever she chooses, so says the Quran, so by extension that should include an old man. Does sound seriously odd though
