A 53-year-old woman has taken her country by surprise after marrying her adopted son, who is 31 years younger than she is.
The musician, Aisylu Chizhevskaya Mingalim, tied the knot with her 22-year-old adopted son, Daniel Chizhevsky, at a restaurant in Kazan, Tatarstan Republic, Russia, on October 20th.
It was gathered that she adopted Daniel after meeting him at an orphanage home, where she was providing singing lessons when he was only 13, and started raising him at 14.
Their marriage didn’t sit well with the child welfare officials in her country, and they seized her five other adopted children, four girls, and one boy.
Meanwhile, Mingalim is fighting the move and lamented that some of her adopted children have been placed back into care homes, while others have returned to family members.
Speaking to local media, Mingalim, who has one biological son from her previous marriage, said her romance with Daniel started after she adopted him from the orphanage home.
Mingalim said: ‘Our relationship is perfect. We can’t live without each other. We are on the same wavelength.’
She is reportedly planning to flee Tartarstan to Moscow with her new husband where they can live freely, and regain custody of her adopted children from the authorities.
