A 92-year-old Iraqi farmer has married a woman 70 years his junior in a triple wedding ceremony with his two teenage grandsons.
Musali Mohammed al-Mujamaie married his 22-year-old bride Muna Mukhlif al-Juburi in a four-hour ceremony.

Mr Mujamaie said the special day had been long-awaited as his grandsons' weddings had been postponed several times to coincide with his marriage ceremony.
He told AFP: 'I am so happy to get married with my grandsons,' Mr Mujamaie told AFP after the four-hour ceremony. 'I feel like a 20-year-old!'
Mr Mujamaie had raised 16 children in his home village of Gubban with his first wife, which lies just south of the central Iraqi city of Samarra.
