Chun wei-yi woman plans to marry herself

30-year-old Chun wei-yi woman plans to marry herself, on November 6.

The young Taiwanese from Taipei has been dreaming about getting married ever since she was just a little girl. Now that she’s all grown up, she’s ready to put on the traditional white dress and veil and finally tie the knot…with herself. Like many other Asian women, Chen Wei-yih focused most of her attention on her career and hasn’t been able to find a suitable partner. While other girls go as far as stripping in public to find husbands, Chen decided it’s more important to first love herself before she loves others, and asked her own hand in marriage.

The wedding ceremony is set to take place on November 6, when Chen Wei-yih will put on her wedding dress and go out for a gourmet meal with family members and 30 of her closest friends. After the wedding, Chen and her beloved self will leave on a romantic honeymoon to Autralia.

Chen-Wei-yih courage to challenge social perception in such an original way has inspired many, and her Facebook wall has been assaulted with messages of encouragement and appreciation, sent mostly by young Asian women like herself.

Child marriages in india

Many girls in India get married when they are still kids. Children marriages are banned in this country, but they still happen. Government survey in 2006 reported that 45 % of Indian girls were married being younger than 18 years old. Local police raids child marriage ceremonies when it gets a chance because young girls who are forced to marry boys or old men are often at risk of violence and sexual abuse. Inside this post you can find photos of child brides taken by Reuters’ photographers.

The oldest mother in the world at the age of 70

Rajo Devi, became the oldest mother in the world, when she gave birth to a child at the age of 70. Hailing from Hisar village in Haryana, Rajo Devi went for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment to get a child 55 years afer getting married.

This news evoked mixed feelings within me, its good that a couple got a child, but at the same time how will they take care of the child?


The 72-year old husband, Ram, is not worried of who will look after the child, since they come from a joint family, but he is happy that the social stigma of having a childless marriage
for 55 years has been erased.

Why in India couples bring a new life into the world for all the wrong reasons. Its largely due to the social stigma imposed by the society we live in, that can't live with the fact that a couple is childless.

Woman has to go through lot of pressure from her family and relatives if she is childless, or if a couple decide not have a child due to their urban lifestyle.

The society imposes rules on people who live within the society, thereby conditioning the mindset and thoughts of people. Like in Rajo's case, the couple didn't get a child for 10 years, so the husband married his wife's younger sister with a hope to get a child. Its rather bizarre, because the same society advocates one marriage. Unfortunately, even the second wife couldn't deliver.


So Rajo went for IVF treatment to create a miracle, she had entered menopause 20 years ago. Won't the child suffer in future? Doesn't a child deserve to be in a good home? I mean they are an old couple, thy might not be around when the child needs them.

Previously, the oldest mother in the world was a 66-year-old Spanish woman who gave birth to twins in 2006 with the help of IVF. In less than a year later, she was diagnsoed with cancer.

Here's an interesting fact - surprisingly, there are quite a few women from india who have become a mother post 60 years of age. A woman from Orissa, gave birth to a son at the age of 65 in 2003. A year later in 2004, 64-year old woman gave birth to her first child in Tamil Nadu.

Lucky man marries thai twins simultaneously

After Mr Wichai (Tao), aged 24, from Samut Songkram province, who earns his living by dealing in old goods, got married to gorgeous twins Ms Sirintara and Ms Thipawan 22, he vouched his sincerest 'equal love' for both of them!

Mr Wichai, just yesterday, got married in a grand ceremony to both twins simultaneously.


Subject: Lucky Man Marries Thai Twins.
(Translated from the Thai Rath Newspaper)

On being interviewed by Thai Rath reporters, Mr Wichai declared wholeheartedly that he didn't see much problem in having to perform tiresome marital duties with two wives.

In the engagement ceremony before the wedding dress gallery, Mr Wichai successfully offered a dowry of eight baht of gold and 80,000 baht EACH for his lovely darlings.

Both families celebrated the marriage with joy and were said to be delighted for the threesome.

Mr Wichai told the press that he had been best of friends with his neighbouring twins since they were children.

'When I grew older, I would walk past their house each morning and try to decide for myself which one I fancied more, but it was darn impossible - I adored BOTH of them - I just couldn't decide which one of them to chat up.....!'
He went on to say, 'For three continuous years all three of us would go on dates together, until there was one day when I couldn't stand the frustration any longer and told them, 'I love you and want to marry you BOTH''

The fortunate Mr Wichai, instead of getting a slap in the face, was overjoyed when both girls admitted to having sworn all along that they wished to marry the same man!

'It wasn't easy at first, what with the neighbours gossiping, but our family sympathized, understood, and fully supported our mutual love for the one man' the twins said.

Mr Wichai arranged for his brides to live with him in his family house after the wedding, and his mother has already proudly prepared TWO rooms for the newly-weds.

Our reporters were just gagging to hear the response to this mouth-watering question:-
"And.... what are the sleeping arrangements Mr Wichai?", to which he replied modestly with a beaming smile.

'Absolutely no problems! For the first three nights of the week, I will sleep with Ms Thipawan and the next three will be spent with Ms Sirintara. As for every Saturday, the three of us will sleep together'.

Ms.Sirintara finally told the press, 'When my twin and I worked as assistant nurses, we promised each other that we would never leave each other's side, and that our future husband would have to either take us both, or leave us.'

The child marriage is probably banned

Mohammed al-Rashidi, 11, Marries 10-year-old Cousin in Saubi Arab.The child marriage is probably banned by most of countries on the plantet, but apparently not in the ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Mohammed al-Rashidi, an 11-year-old Saudi boy, has just married 10-year-old cousin!

Mohammed al-Rashidi and his unidentified cousin will seal the marriage they contracted under the sharia laws of Islam and move in together after a ceremony to take place in the summer, Al-Shams newspaper said.

"I am ready for this marriage. It will help me study better," Mohammed, who goes to primary school in the northern province of Hail, was quoted as saying by Al-Shams.

"I invite all my classmates to do like me," the boy said, adding that he wanted to "crown a love story through marriage".

The schoolboy's father, Muraizak al-Rashidi, told the newspaper he was busy sending out invitations for a summer celebration to seal the marriage.

Dahim al-Jaber, the headmaster at Mohammed's school, said marriage at such a young age was "inappropriate" but wished the couple a happy life together.

Not to blame the little couple as they are so young and illerate, their parents should definitely know what the INBREEDING is!

Inbreeding is breeding between close relatives, whether plant or animal. If practiced repeatedly, it often leads to a reduction in genetic diversity. A concomitant increase in homozygousity of recessive traits can, over time, result in inbreeding depression.This may result in inbred individuals exhibiting reduced health and fitness and lower levels of fertility.
