Despite the title, this is actually a very sad story. As many of us are aware, financial and economic pressures have driven many Tajik men to seek work outside of the country and left Tajik women with few job prospects. As a result, there has been a steep increase in the number of 25+ women marrying men between the ages of 60 and 70. Not surprisingly, the regions where these marriages are most common have also witnessed a rising divorce rate. [edit: new photo since the old one died.]
