A 9-year-old school boy has tied the knot with his 62-year-old
bride in Ximhungwe, Mpumalanga, South Africa, to the amazement of all.
The 9-year-old Saneie Masilela due to ‘family culture’, has decided to
remarry his bride, Helen Shabangu, who has already had five children.
Both families have confirmed their consent to the wedding, as the formal
husband of the bride and two of her children, aged 28 and 38, have made
it publicly known. They are happy that the couple are helping with the
family ritual, which is meant to appease the ancestors of their family.
Revealing how they had all taken up the financial responsibilities of
the said wedding, the formal husband says he is unperturbed about what
anyone says.
The baby groom still has the hopes of remarrying a girl within his
age range in future. However, he says that he loves his present bride as
that was what made him to take the bold step of marrying Helen.
The bride, who expressed her happiness over the fact that the boy
picked her, told the newsmen that the boy will continue to live a normal
life, as other boys of his age, and will later get married to a younger
bride, within his age limits. Helen added that they were both just
fulfilling family traditions
