A 107-year-old Malaysian woman has said she wants to get married again, for the 23rd time, as she fears her husband wants to leave her, says a report.
When Wook Kundor married four years ago to a man 70 years her junior their wedding photos made regional media.
But now she fears her husband will not return home after completing treatment for drug addiction in Kuala Lumpur.
She told reporters she felt “lonely” without her husband, ahead of the Muslim feast at the end of Ramadan.
Wook Kundor, who lives in northern Kuala Terengganu state, said she planned to visit her husband – Muhammad Noor Che Musa – if her neighbours would drive her to the capital, where he is receiving voluntary treatment.
She said she would re-consider her plans if the 37-year-old told her he still had feelings for her.
Speaking to The Star newspaper in Malaysia she said: “Lately, there is this kind of insecurity in me.
“I realise I am an aged woman… My intention to re-marry is to fill my forlornness, and nothing more than that.”
Her husband, who used to be her lodger, had previously said it was “God’s will” that he fell in love with his wife to be.
