Controversial union: Thai man’s marriage to older Chinese woman stirs debate
The controversial union of a 23 year old man who married a 45 year old woman sparked a flurry of criticism in Thailand. The age and appearance of the bride, who hails from Guangdong province, have been the subjects of controversy.
The couple met at an event and despite the 22 year age gap, their relationship blossomed into a happy union. This led them to tie the knot in a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony, where the groom beamed with joy marrying the woman he loves. The bride, on the other hand, blushed shyly, holding a fan in her hand.
However, the bride’s appearance stirred public opinion as her facial features and physique are perceived as “masculine” with a short haircut and no makeup, scarf, or flowers adorning her hair.
This controversial union caused some confusion among onlookers as to who the groom was and led some to describe the pair as more like “an uncle and nephew” rather than a bride and groom. Critics speculated that their marriage might not be based on true love and could not last.
Nevertheless, some argue that the couple should not be subjected to negative comments due to their appearance or age difference.
Everyone has the right to choose their own life, and so their decision should be respected, wishing them happiness. At the end of the day, love knows no bounds. As long as two people genuinely love each other, they can overcome any obstacle.
Despite facing prejudice and criticism, both the bride and groom are incredibly happy together. They firmly believe that true love doesn’t consider age or physical appearance. Their wedding garnered blessings and support from many, signifying acceptance and love in the face of adversity, reported Sanook.
