112-Year-Old Somali Man Marries 17-Year-Old Girl
Published by MoonDog on November 3, 2009
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.

Women in n0-christian countries face all kind of abuse and people seems is right because their culture does allow it, but God is watching all and soon the history of this corrupted world will end, we are getting close to be as Sodom and Gomorra, as the people before the flood, The Judgement of the living is on our heads, the 10 Commanments is still binding, and the Gospel will give warning to all, still you need to be holy, pure and obedient to be save, still despite the new fashion of immorality and corruption and still are people like Enoc that trive to please God, God look with mercy to all that wants to be good, honest, pure and holy, it is like a ladder to heavens but Jesus paid for your former sins and help you to overcome your sinful nature, so selfish and selfdestructive that we kill ourselves to enjoy 1 minute of so call pleasure at the expense of conscience,health, reason, family,and eternal life in a paradise with a golden city made by God Himself.
