Kuala Lumpur - An elderly Malaysian man has remarried his ex-wife 53 years and several other spouses later, a news report said Monday. Zakaria Seman, 71, and his blushing bride Essah Mat Yamin, 69, were married for the first time in 1952 at the ages of 15 and 13 respectively, but they divorced three years later. However, love was rekindled 53 years later when the duo met at their only child's home recently, the Malay-language Berita Harian daily said. Zakaria proposed to Essah, and the two were remarried at a simple wedding ceremony in their 54-year old son's home Saturday, the report said. 'His love for me is still evident, even though we've been separated for 53 years,' Essah said following the ceremony. 'I'm confident he wants to spend the rest of our lives together,' she said. After their divorce, Zakaria remarried twice while Esah has been married five times, the report said.
