Man, 112, marries girl 17

I really doubt the guy is 112.

there are only a few men in the world that are close to that age.

After age 110 your chances of surviving another year is very low.

Only 4 men at the moment are older than 110. That man is not listed. And the oldest man recorded was 115 years old.

So like I am 99.9999999% sure that this guy is no where near age 112.

I agree !! If he's really at 112 ! He cant be as strong as he's in that picture !! I guess he's just 80's and maybe... I think he set the number "112" in his age in order to lure some young girls who want his property !! Ruu..

Wow how the hell he do that?

I hope they have a happy life together.... granted his won't last much longer.

Allow me to rephrase. I hope she gets rich from this.

One word ... no wait two words.

That man doesn't look over 112. But it's still weird to have a Waifu who is like 6.59 times younger than you. The guy is good.

Point of this (rather lame, but fitting to this situation) joke.

Ew. This is just ewy.

Tis all for the money. Thats all I can say.

He's a player with mad skeelz, fo' sho'.
But no, seriously. Either that girl has a ridiculously disturbing decrepit old man fetish OR she's diggin' for gold.

So far the only thing that enters my mind is "That's fucked up"

A lot of people are talking about love, but that sort of thing doesn't come into play in a lot of places. I'm not sure, since I don't know anything about the region, but this marriage was probably not about love at all and instead about choosing a "good" father. I'd guess that the old guy is venerated for some reason, perhaps for being able to live so long. As for whether or not his claims are true, he says that he has a son who is 80 years old. If that is true, then his age claim may be as well. Of course, the news article doesn't seem too concerned with trying to figure out the truth of that matter.

Anyways, as I was saying, love doesn't mean shit in a lot of places, and neither does money. Status and power are the things that really matter. In places like that, a girl would actually look forward to marrying an old man.

So do the wives and children all live with him in the same house?

Edit: that wife doesn't look too happy in the picture

I'm imagine what's that 112 old man's son who is 80 years old call his stepmother 17 years old !! It's gonna be fun ! Ruu..

I let my friend look at the pic without telling him the news...

And he couldn't tell that the girl is 1/6 of the man's age. lol.

Well the way I see it the girl is either looking for quick cash or the old man paid for her. Thats about the only way that I see this kind of fucked up situation happening.

Isnt marrying a person underage against the law unless u have a damn good reason to marry like being pregnant or something. Or is there no law like that in that country?

Huh... Either it's conspiracy (or Hidden motives) like what some of you peoples say, or that girl got a Gerontophilia disorder.

Or maybe that man just got this ultimate irresistible charm power!
... Yeah right.
