a 97-year-old Iraqi man who hit headlines last year for marrying a young girl died at his home in the Arab country nearly six months after his latest marriage.

Musli Mohammed Al Majmai triggered controversy in Iraq and other countries when he wedded a girl who was nearly 70 years younger than him.

Two of his grandsons wedded on the same day in their home province of Saladin north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad in July 2013.

Newspapers said Al Majmai had 325 children, grand children and great grand children.

Gee if I ever get to be a 97 year old dirty old man, I hope I can go out like that.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well he died happy. :-)

... a 97 year old dirty old man

**************************************

He could have been getting his diapers changed ..... then again, at his age, that might have been pretty exciting.

[Popman]

Gee...well at least she not nine years old...

[Defiant]

I doubt she had to do much. Poor child.

[Disambiguator]

She done him in.

[fhayek]

I wouldn’t call a 27 year old woman a “young girl”.

[jazusamo]

A miracle he lasted six months.

Iraq’s version of Anna Nicole.

Those wacky NaMuzis !

Boyhowdy, aren't all cultures equally valuable ? !              

[AnAmericanAbroad]

You and me both.

Let’s face it, there are far worse ways to go.

Doc: "Bernie, you're 97 and you just married a 25-year-old woman! Aren't you worried about death from exhaustion?"

Bernie: "It's OK, Doc. If she dies, she dies."

Priest: But Irving. You're 92 and you're Jewish. Why are you telling me this?

Irving: Father, I'm telling everyone

True, though I'd still question how much pressure she was under to do that. She could be the Arab - Anna Nicole Smith.

It took the undertaker 3 days to get the smile off his face and another week to get the lid on the coffin!

erm . . . if the "young girl" is "nearly 70 years younger," that makes her 27 or older.

LOL, I doubt it but I’ve been wrong many times before.
