Ahmed Muhamed Dore, a 112-year-old Somali man, has married a 17-year-old girl and hopes to have children with his new bride.
Hundreds of people attended the wedding in the town of Guriceel in central Somalia. “Today God helped me realize my dream,” Dore said, according to sources.
The bride, Safia Abdulleh, did not comment, but her family said she was “happy with her new husband” – even though he is nearly a century her senior.
Dore claims to have been born in 1897 and he has a traditional birth certificate, written on a goat skin by his father.
Dore has 13 children by his five previous wives. His oldest son is 80. Three of his wives have died, but the remaining two consented to the new wedding, as did the bride’s parents and the groom’s children.
Altogether, Dore has 114 children and grandchildren.
Although it’s not unusual for Somali girls to marry older men, the reports cited Somali historians as saying this wedding was the first marriage with such a great age disparity in more than a century.
Dore said he and his bride are from the same village, and he waited for her to grow up. “I didn’t force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love, and then we agreed to marry,” he said.
