A 92-year-old Iraqi farmer has married a woman 70 years his junior
in a triple wedding ceremony with his two teenage grandsons.
Musali Mohammed al-Mujamaie married his 22-year-old bride Muna
Mukhlif al-Juburi in a four-hour ceremony.
His grandsons, aged 16 and 17, also got married in the ceremony
north of Baghdad on Thursday, according to AFP.
Newlyweds: Musali Mohammed al-Mujamaie said he made sure his
wedding to 22-year-old wife Muna Mukhlif al-Jubur was on the same
day as his two grandsons got married
Mr Mujamaie said the special day had been long-awaited as his
grandsons' weddings had been postponed several times to coincide
with his marriage ceremony.
He told AFP: 'I am so happy to get married with my grandsons,' Mr
Mujamaie told AFP after the four-hour ceremony. 'I feel like a 20-
year-old!'
Mr Mujamaie had raised 16 children in his home village of Gubban
with his first wife, which lies just south of the central Iraqi city of
Samarra.
