105-year-old man marries 22-year-old girl


"If you believe in fate and true love, whatever you are destined for will become a reality."

These are the words of wisdom from centenarian Sudar Marto — and he should know what he’s talking about. Sudar caused quite a stir in the quiet village of Duyong two months ago when he took a 22-year-old woman as his bride.

Although the September wedding did not receive as wide media publicity as in the case of Datuk K and Datuk Siti Nurhaliza, or Datuk R and Puteri Shahanaz, the union of the 105-year-old Sudar and Ely Maryulianti Rahmat nonetheless set tongues wagging.
