WORLD RECORD IN MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE


                 (Linda Wolfe)

We can find some abnormal world record holders in marriage.

Most married women in the world
World record for  women married the most is in the name of Linda Wolfe. She was married 23 times. At 16 she had her first marriage. It was for love. The last marriage was held in 1996, but was for publicity. That was a preacher named Glynn Scotty Wolfe.  Interestingly he was the world's most married man. Her husbands included a convict, a homeless man, a musician and a plumber. One husband lasted only for three days. Another man she married three times.

Longest Marriage
The world record for longest marriage is held by Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher who were together for 86 years 9 months and 16 days as of February 27, 2011. Sadly, on that day Herbert passed away. He was 106 years old. They had five children.

Oldest couple to divorce
Bertie and Jessie Wood hold the Guinness Book of World Records  for oldest couple to divorce. They ended their 36 year's marriage relationship when they reached 98. The reason for the split remain unknown.

(Indebted to Guinness Book of World Records reported by William Strachan in November 2012)
