Why is it okay for a 61yr old woman to kiss a 9 yr old boy in the mouth all in the name of tradition?
A 9-year-old schoolboy has become one of the world's youngest grooms
for the 2nd time, marrying his 62-year-old wife again. Looking a
little taller in last year's silvery tuxedo, baby faced Saneie Masilela
clutched the hand of Helen Shabangu as they repeated their vows one year
on.
Last year the boy, from nearby Tshwane, tied the knot with bride
Helen after claiming he had been told by his dead ancestors to wed.
Shockingly his family took the message from the heavens seriously and
hurriedly forked out £500 for the bride and a further £1,000 for the big
day.
The second marriage ceremony was this time held at the home of the
blushing bride in Ximhungwe in Mpumalanga, South Africa, in front of
around 100 guests. Wide-eyed residents looked on as the married
mother-of-five shared a piece of cake, a toast and even a kiss with her
young groom Sanele - and long-term husband Alfred Shabangu, 66.
