A 9-year-old school boy has tied the
knot with his 62-year-old bride in
Ximhungwe, Mpumalanga, South
Africa, to the amazement of all.
The 9-year-old Saneie Masilela due to
‘family culture’, has decided to remarry
his bride, Helen Shabangu, who has
already had five children.
The dapper-looking baby faced ‘groom’
and his mature bride looked quite
extravagant as they were kissing each
other in a bid to show their love, to the
amazement of all the 100 guests present
at the event.
Both families have confirmed their
consent to the wedding, as the formal
husband of the bride and two of her
children, aged 28 and 38, have made it
publicly known. They are happy that the
couple are helping with the family ritual,
which is meant to appease the ancestors
of their family.
Revealing how they had all taken up the
financial responsibilities of the said
wedding, the formal husband says he is
unperturbed about what anyone says.
The baby groom still has the hopes of
remarrying a girl within his age range in
future. However, he says that he loves
his present bride as that was what made
him to take the bold step of marrying
Helen.
The bride, who expressed her happiness
over the fact that the boy picked her,
told the newsmen that the boy will
continue to live a normal life, as other
boys of his age, and will later get
married to a younger bride, within his
age limits. Helen added that they were
both just fulfilling family traditions.
