Love can be blind, no doubt! But can it be this blind where a 68-year-old man ended up marrying his own granddaughter? Read this story on how a millionaire man married his own grandkid!
As a 68-year-old man and his 24-year-old bride were flipping through a photo album, the woman saw a picture of her estranged father, who also happened to be estranged from the groom.
The man’s eldest son was none other than the girl’s own dad! She said, “When I saw my father in that photo album, I just felt an overwhelming sense of despair.”
The man had divorced his second wife as well, and the reason was due to financial difficulties. After this, he won a lottery jackpot that made him a millionaire. He won the $7,000,000 jackpot in the Florida lottery and settled down in a new waterfront home worth $2,000,000.
While most people would rethink their entire marriage right then and there, the pair were not like most people. Although the bride felt a sense of despair at first, she was quite adamant about making their marriage work. The 68-year-old millionaire echoed his bride’s sentiments, saying that he had no intention of failing yet another marriage. Admirable—if not for the fact that consensual incest in the state of Florida is punishable by law.
According to Florida Statute 826.04, anyone who “knowingly marries or has sexual intercourse” with a blood relative is guilty of incest, which is a third-degree felony, notes Inquisitr.com.
The couple, who have requested to remain anonymous, were unaware that they were related when they exchanged vows reports the Florida Sun Post.
Guess this tells it all. Strange love stories also do exist and this is a clear example of it.
