A 71-years old woman with grand children was planning to get married to her 21-years old Fiancee but was intercepted by court officials
A 71-year-old woman has been told she cannot wed her 21-year-old lover by court officials who fear she has been the victim of an immigration scam.
The great-grandmother, from Switzerland, told the court she loved her Tunisian boyfriend, claiming they shared interests in ‘rap music and country walks’.
The man, who was just 18 when the pair met in an internet chatroom, said the age gap didn’t matter because he doesn’t want to have children.
However the court in Vaud ruled the marriage would be a sham, saying the man was using ’emotional fraud with the aim of migration’ to Switzerland.
The woman told 20 minutes that she had met her young lover online and spent three years building their relationship over the internet before flying to Tunisia last summer to meet him.
Five days later the couple lodged a request to marry at the Swiss Embassy in Tunis.
The retired secretary told the paper: ‘We both like rap and walks in the countryside. We have the same interests.’
Speaking after the court ruling, the man said: ‘I am very disappointed. The age gap is not a problem for me because I don’t want to have children. I love her and I want to live with her.’ .
