A 112-year-old Somalian sought the hand of a 17-year-old girl after a long wait.

Ahmed Muhamed Dore, from Guriceel, in the Galguduud region of Somalia waited for his young bride to grow up in order to propose to her. For the natural doubt as to whether she was forced into marrying the groom who fit to be her great-great-great-grandfather, 'The Telegraph' quoted him as saying "I didn''t force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love, and then we agreed to marry"

Safia's family says she is "happy with her new husband" who is 95 years older than her.

Ahmed has also fathered 18 children through his five wives.

Love is blind indeed!

It reminds me a story: The hunter once went to the forest to kill a Tiger. In a hurry he took his umbrella instead of his gun. In the forest when the tiger was abt to attack him.. he took out his umbrella and fired thinking that its his gun.. but there was a huge noise of a bullet and the tigered Died. Conclusion left to you... so this will be same thing the 17 year old gets pregnant :)
