Something Old, Something New, If This One Fails, She'll Try Number 22

OK, here goes. The something old is really someone old. That would be Wook Kundor, age 104. She's a cradle robber and the new wife of Muhamad Noor Che Musa, who, at age 33, is a comparative something new.

According to an Associated Press article, this is Muhamad's first marriage. As for Wook, well, this is husband #21. That's right - it appears that Muhamad has landed the most maritally experienced woman in all of Malaysia, if not the world! Although Malaysian Muslim men are permitted to take up to four wives at a time, reports of women who marry more than once are rare, and Muslim women do not practice polygamy. Thus, Wook has been divorced or predeceased by 20 previous husbands.

As for what they plan to do with their time, Muhamad said he hoped to help his new bride master Roman script while she taught him Islamic religious knowledge.

OK, I'm all for Platonic love, but I'm thinking that one of these two stricken lovebirds should know better. I just don't know which one.
