Man Gets Married For The 53rd Time - Remarries His First Wife
<snip>

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- A Malaysian man has married for the 53rd time, tying the knot a second time with the first woman he wed.

"I am not a playboy. I just love seeing beautiful women," said 72-year-old Kamaruddin Mohammed.

In between marrying Khadijah Udin, in 1957 and again on Monday, he married 51 times, including to an Englishwoman and a Thai.

He stayed with the Thai the longest, for 20 years. His shortest marriage lasted two days. All his previous marriages ended in divorce except with the Thai woman, who died of cancer, he said.

"After she died I thought of Khadijah and sent several people to inquire. I didn't expect her to accept it," said Kamaruddin, who worked for several multinational companies before retiring in 1992.

Despite all the repeat marriages, Kamaruddin says he is a one-woman man.

1. Ah, re-marriage ...
... the triumph of Hope over Experience!

And to a woman bearing the name of The Prophet's own principal wife, too!

4. Well, it's like T.S. Eliot said...
the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started. And know the place for the first time.
