Man Remarries First Wife After 52 Divorces
POSTED: 8:49 am EDT October 7, 2004
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- A Malaysian man has married for the 53rd time, tying the knot a second time with the first woman he wed.
"I am not a playboy. I just love seeing beautiful women," said 72-year-old Kamaruddin Mohammed.
In between marrying Khadijah Udin, in 1957 and again on Monday, he married 51 times, including to an Englishwoman and a Thai.
He stayed with the Thai the longest, for 20 years. His shortest marriage lasted two days. All his previous marriages ended in divorce except with the Thai woman, who died of cancer, he said.
"After she died I thought of Khadijah and sent several people to inquire. I didn't expect her to accept it," said Kamaruddin, who worked for several multinational companies before retiring in 1992.
Despite all the repeat marriages, Kamaruddin says he is a one-woman man.
"I don't like flings. I also don't believe in marrying more than one woman at a time," he said.
He said he is very happy to be reunited with the 74-year-old Khadijah. Their first marriage lasted a year.
Khadijah said she accepted Kamaruddin's proposal because she was living alone after the death of her third husband.
"Kamaruddin also promised to look after me until the end of our lives and said he did not want to continue his habit of remarrying repeatedly," she said.
