LONDON - A 112-year-old Somalian man has married a 17-year-old girl.

Ahmed Muhamed Dore, who comes from Guriceel, in the Galguduud region of Somalia, has said that he waited Safia Abdulleh to grow up before making his proposal for marriage.

“I didn’t force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love, and then we agreed to marry,” the Telegraph quoted him as saying.

Safia’s family claims she is “happy with her new husband”.

Ahmed who is 95 years older than Safia is apparently old enough to be her great-great-great-grandfather. He also has 18 children by his other five wives.

I don't think women (girls) inherit from a dead "husband"... she's just another possession of his that will be fought over by the younger male heirs..
