The big differnce is that (until proof of the countrary) Hugh's little bunnies are there of their own free will.

I am amazed that nobody pointed out this:

Dhore says he wanted to marry Abdulle for a long time but waited for her to grow up.
He says his children and two other wives agreed to the marriage, as did Abdulle's parents.

"Today God has helped me to realise my dream," Mr Dore said.

Where did -she- agreed to marry him?

Just another case of women having no rights in a backwater country (and I won't get in the religious debate here).
It is the publicly approved rape of a 17year old by a 112 year old, sanctionned by -Somali- law.
If she is lucky, he won't be able to get it on.

Most of the other women in that country (and many others) are probably not that lucky, being forcibly "married" to men 2 to 5 times their age with the consent of their familly.

Hey,

Seems crazy but I was planning more or less the same type thing for when I'm 112.

Of course by then I may either change my mind or simply forget.
