Somali man, '112', weds girl, 17
Hundreds of people have attended a wedding in central Somalia between a man who says he is 112 years old, and his teenage wife. Ahmed Muhamed Dore - who already has 18 children by five wives - said he would like to have more with his new wife, Safia Abdulleh, who is 17 years old.
"Today God helped me realise my dream," Mr Dore said, after the wedding in the region of Galguduud.
The bride's family said she was "happy with her new husband".
Mr Dore said he and his bride - who is young enough to be his great-great-grand-daughter - were from the same village in Somalia and that he had waited for her to grow up to propose.
"I didn't force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love; and then we agreed to marry," the groom said.
The BBC's Mohamed Olad Hassan in Mogadishu says the marriage in the town of Guriceel is being described by Somalian historians as the first of its kind in the Horn of Africa nation for over a century.

Yes Somalia a Muslim country... 
If anything people in Africa cannot afford their children so usually leave them for dead or give them away to old men who can.
People in most African countries are stages back in civilisation than us, because of a lack of education/resources they believe all kinds of shit like Gods moving the sky, causing drought, sacrafices etc.
Cannibalism, human ranking, meh it all goes on there still... WIDELY.
Witchdoctors are among the biggest non-professional practice there, this old codger probably thought marrying a young girl would bring him new vitality.

A 95 year age gap isn't too bad. *sigh* This is really gross.

And yet we have people here who believe in God too. Stages back in civilization? Riiiight. Take one news item and apply it to an entire continent. I think you're in the wrong part of Africa for witch doctors. The cannibalism thing is utter crap too. Just cram as many stereotypes as you can into one post. Geez.

I don't think there was any standard practice of cannibalism in Africa. However, there was in parts of the Amazon and in New Guinea. There is an amazing/appalling photo series from a journalist who visited a cannibal tribe in New Guinea around 1905.

^ I've never heard of the journalist you're talking about, but Tobias Schneebaum (an anthropologist) was also famous for living with cannibal tribes in New Guinea and Peru during the 50's-70's. He wrote a book about it, good stuff. He even unknowningly went on a hunt for other people and freaked when they started killing people. He ate humans to try it out too, I think he said it tasted like chicken.
Sorry for going OT, you just reminded me of that.
