I believe by now,all these issues of age as a barrier to marriage should be put to rest this time upon reading this post!...
In the news,we learnt via dailymail that One Britain's Queen of the Amazon who's a Filmmaker,age 21, has 'married the ' Ecuadorian tribal warrior 30 years her senior after meeting him when she went to the country to make documentary!...
Sarah Begum (right) quit her job in London aged 21 to study the Huaroani tribe, which has 3,000 members in a part of the Ecuador jungle threatened by oil firms. She spent just a month in the village but was welcomed with open arms in a naked initiation, which saw women make her a crown from macaw feathers. During the ceremony (bottom left) she was surprised to discover it was a full wedding celebration to pair her off with a warrior named Ginkto more than 30 years her senior (top left) - although as she quickly established, it was merely a symbolic gesture to spread their call for help in the West. Her experiences in the Amazon, where she was taught how to weave and hunt, have since been made into a film.
See corresponding photos after the cut...
