Muslai Mohammed, one of the most prominent figures in his village,
decided to get married three years after the death of his first wife,
who died aged 58. Interestingly, Musali Mohammed al-Mujamaie’s two teenage grandsons
also tied the knot in the same ceremony that was attended by several
local tribal and religious leaders of Gubban village which lies south of
central Iraqi city of Samarra.
After wrapping up the wedding ceremony, an excited Musali Mohammed
al-Mujamaie said, “I am so happy to get married with my grandsons.”
Stating that he felt much younger at the age of 92 after getting
married in the same ceremony with his grandsons aged 16 and 17, the
eldest groom added, “I feel like a 20-year-old!”
Musali Mohammed al-Mujamaie went on to say that the marriages of his
grandsons were getting repeatedly postponed due to the delay in the
arrangements of his marriage.
It was Musali Mohammed al-Mujamaie’s second marriage, three years
after the death of his first wife, who expired at 58. The duo raised 16
children at their village of Gubban.
The extended ceremony of triple wedding witnessed various musical and dance performances and celebratory gunfire.
“I remained alone when my wife died, there was nobody to share
anything with. I wanted to have a good time, have some pleasure, but
there was nothing. Then God brought her to me, for my pleasure. Is that
good or bad?” he said.
Muna al-Jabouri, his new wife, said: “I accepted (to marry him) when I saw his pictures and realised it was my fate.”
