Hundreds of people have attended a wedding in central Somalia between a man who says he is 112 years old, and his teenage wife.

Ahmed Muhamed Dore - who already has 13 children by five wives - said he would like to have more with his new wife, Safia Abdulleh, who is 17 years old.

"Today God helped me realise my dream," Mr Dore said, after the wedding in the region of Galguduud.

So. Do we consider this guy a pedophile or is it considered acceptable?

According to US laws, he is technically committing statutory rape because she's under 18... but this is a totally different country, so who knows.

The age difference is astronomical and I personally can't relate.
