Weekly Debate 80 [Somali man 112, marries 17 year old girl]
A Somalian man who claims to be 112 years old has married for the sixth time, to a 17-year-old girl.

A crowd of hundreds attended the wedding between Ahmed Muhamed Dore and Safia Abdulleh in Guriceel, in the Galguduud region of Somalia. Mr Dore said: "Today God helped me realise my dream."

Mr Dore and his teenage bride are from the same village, and he said that he had waited for her to grow up before proposing.

He said: "I didn't force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love, and then we agreed to marry."

The bride’s family said she was "happy with her new husband".

At 95 years older than her – if his claimed age is accurate – he is old enough to be her great-great-great-grandfather.

He already has 18 children by his other five wives.

According to Somali historians, the wedding is the first of its kind in Somalia for over a century.

I think it would be difficult to say that under no circumstances should it be legally allowed.

I do think however that the girl should have to be older before being permitted to make such a major decision, so that`s what I`ve gone for.

Her facial expression seems to show that she is not too happy about things. According to me this is not good things to this kind of marriage.

We must be the change we want to see
