LOVE knows no bounds, they say. So 22-year-old Ely Yurianti Rahman and 105-year-old Sudar Marto certainly lived up to the maxim, Harian Metro reported.
The two from Indonesia tied the knot recently at Kampung Permatang Duyong in Malacca after getting approval from the Syariah High Court.
Sudar, a permanent resident and Class B contractor, met Ely Yurianti in Jakarta a year ago. Initially, the young woman felt sorry for Sudar because he had to take care of his ailing 69-year-old wife, despite his own advanced age.
However, love blossomed and they decided to get married.
Sudar's first wife Fatemah Mat said she allowed her husband to take a wife young enough to be his great-grandchild only because she was unwell most of the time and was, therefore, unable to carry out her responsibilities as a wife.
“I hope Ely Yurianti will take care of both of us, and so I gave my blessing to their marriage,’’ she said, adding that if she was healthy she would never have allowed the marriage to take place.
