An unusual marriage has been registered in Mexico, where a 96-year-old woman married an 18-year-old man. The couple’s age difference is 78 years, and the ceremony has reportedly set a national record.
The wedding took place in the municipality of Othón P. Blanco, in the southeastern state of Quintana Roo on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. The region is also home to Cancún, the popular Caribbean coastal resort.
News of the extraordinary union emerged through Mexico’s Marriage Statistics (EMAT), compiled by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) using data from civil registry offices. However, official records do not provide further details about the newlyweds or the circumstances of their meeting.
According to the Daily Express, the marriage is said to have set a Mexican record for the largest age gap between spouses, with the bride 78 years older than her groom.
