Indonesia witnessed another history as 16-year-old boy marries his 71-year-old sweetheart after the pair threatened to kill themselves if their families blocked their union. According to an Indonesian news outlet who confirmed the wedding, said;
"They said they wanted to commit suicide because they were completely in love, so if one of them dies, then both must die".
Selamat Riayadi married his bride Rohaya and the marriage is not believed to be motivated by money, as both newlyweds are equally poor.
Selamat's family made a dowry payment to Rohaya's family of 200,000 Indonesian Rupiah, worth about £11.50.
