A 34-YEAR-OLD WOMAN Named
Theodora From Kagera Region In Tanzania Has Surprised Many After Revealing The
Reasons That Attracted Her To An 84-Year-Old Poor Zaisi Man And Agreed To Marry
Him.
Usually, Many Women Agree
To Marry Old Men Especially Because Of The Wealth And Security Of Their Future,
But For Theodora, Her Situation Is Different Because She Accepted The Old Man
Who Has Nothing To Inherit.
Together, They Have Lived
For 17 Years And Have Four Children.
"The First Time I Met
Him, It Was Through A Friend Who Mentioned To Me That There Was A Man Who Was
Looking For A Woman. My Husband Was Married But All His Women Had Failed To Get
Pregnant," Theodora Began To Explain.
"We Met And He Told
Me How He Had A Youthful Desire To Raise His Own Children. He Told Me How He
Would Love Me And I Vowed To Stand By Him," He Added.
On His Part, The Old Man
Named Ephrem Kajara, Said He Has Nothing But The Farm Where He Runs Every
Morning To Find His Family In The Farm.
"The Reason Why I Married
That Girl Is Due To The Bad History Of My Previous Life In Marriage Where I Could
Not Have Children. My First Wife Ran Away From Me After She Failed To Have
Children, The Second Wife Also Started Showing Inappropriate Behavior, Going
Out At Night And Running Around Screaming. Later It Was Discovered That He Was
Mentally Affected, We Separated," Mzee Kajara Said.
The Old Man Said That The
Wife Came To Him Pregnant And He Agreed To Take Her With His Son And
Fortunately, The Man Who Impregnated Her Rejected The Pregnancy.
"For Me, Age Is Just
A Number, The Fact That He Is Older Than Me, I See It As Just Fine. As Someone
Who Has Gone Through Life With Many Challenges, The Age Criterion For A Man Is
Not Something That Would Stop Me From Loving Him. Despite Not Having Much To
Own, We Are Satisfied With The Little We Have," Theodora Said.
The Wife Said That Her
Parents Consented To Her Marrying The Old Man Even Though The Neighbors Were
Spreading Rumors And Swearing At Her For Her Decision, But Later They Came To
Be Ashamed After Seeing Her Marriage Is Strong While Their Marriages With
Lovers Of Their Age Are Shaking.
