Wook Kundor

Wook Kundor

Wook Kundor (born 1902) is a Malaysian centenarian. She holds the record for largest age disparity in a legal marriage. She has been married 22 times.[1] Her current marriage is to Muhammad Musa, who is 70 years her junior.[2][3] However, Musa is currently in drug rehabilitation in Kuala Lumpur, and Kundor is currently seeking a new marriage, as she fears he may run off with someone younger, and that she needs someone to keep her company, saying "I realise that I am an aged woman. I don't have the body, nor am I a young woman who can attract anyone. I'm not searching for a man as handsome as our Prime Minister, but someone to accompany in my twilight years".[4]

Kundor's only asset is her deep religious knowledge, says Mr. Musa. It's his first marriage and her twenty-first." [dead link]
