'Intention to re-marry is to fill my forlornness'

A 107-year-old Malaysian woman says she wants to get married for a 23rd time because she fears her current husband is going to leave her, BBC News reports .
Four years ago, Wook Kundor married Muhamad Noor Che Musa , who was 33 at the time, setting the record for largest age disparity in a legal marriage.
Muhammad Musa said he married Kundor for love, not money. He added that he initially felt sympathy for his bride because she was old and alone, but over time, respect and friendship turned to love. Kundor's only asset is her deep religious knowledge, he said.
But Muhammad Musa is in Kuala Lumpur getting treatment for drug addiction, and Kundor now fears her husband will not return home after completing rehab.
She told reporters she is lonely without her husband. "I realize I am an aged woman. ... My intention to re-marry is to fill my forlornness, and nothing more than that," Kundor said.
Many celebrities have married much younger partners . In most cases the man is older, like Tony Randall (50 years older than Heather Harlan) and Woody Allen (35 years older than Soon-Yi Previn), but a few women like Martha Raye (33 years older than Mark Harris) and Demi Moore (15 years older than Ashton Kutcher) have married much younger men.
All I can say is bless her heart!
