Love Transcends Age
Dignity Dialogue
|July 2017
With the 24 years’ age gap between French President Emmanuel Marcon and his wife Brigitte making headlines all over the world, Sumit Paul wonders if love has anything to do with age.
The newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife is 24 years older than him. One wonders why the world is so curious about this so-called May-December marriage. US President Donald Trump, 70, and his wife Melania, 46, have the same difference in age, but the Trump marriage is considered more ‘traditional’. Love gives two hoots to age. “Na umra ki seema ho, na janm ka ho bandhan, jab pyar kare koi toh dekhe keval man” (age is no limit, neither is birth a barrier, when two souls are in love, only the heart is an onlooker). People all over the world and across all societies and cultures have conditioned themselves to seeing men being older than women in marriage. This has been the tradition since time immemorial. Defying it is akin to blasphemy or social censure, nay even ostracization.
