Iraqi man marries woman more than four times his junior

It looks like a regular Iraqi wedding - until you see the bride and groom. Muslai Mohammed, 92, is old enough to be his wife's great-grandfather. When the widower decided to remarry, he instructed his sons to find him a wife. They obliged with 22-year-old Muna Al-Jabouri.

"I remained alone when my wife died," Muslai Mohammed said. "There was nobody to share anything with. I wanted to have a good time, have some pleasure, but there was nothing. Then God brought her to me - and this was for my pleasure." Muna Al-Jabouri agreed to marry the man 70 years her senior after seeing photographs of him. In fact, she says their union was fate.

Mohammed has 18 children, and several of his sons practice polygamy, which they refer to as 'a hobby.' His extended family claims 325 members, and Mohammed says if he can find another woman, he'll attempt to marry once more.
