Teen tricked into marrying grandpa tapper

A TEENAGER’S dream of marrying a good-looking young man was shattered when her groom was not the 30-year-old bank officer she had fantasised about, but a 63-year-old rubber tapper, reported Harian Metro.

The 18-year-old girl, who works at a supermarket in Kulim, said she got to know the elderly man last October after he purportedly dialled her number by mistake.

The calls became more frequent and the man went to the extent of topping up the girl’s phone credit and putting money into her younger sister’s bank account for shopping and other needs.

The teenager, who only gave her name as Lis, said the man claimed he was a 30-year-old bank officer and still single.

“After several weeks we agreed to get married in Thailand,” said Lis.

It was then she found out that the groom was not the one she imagined to be, but a grandfather who had been married four times before with children aged seven months to 30 years!

Lis said she declined to have the marriage consummated and asked to be separated after four days.

On returning to Kulim, she lodged reports against the man at the police station and the religious department.
