Husband 80, wife 42 still give birth

The couple had been married for 10 years. Mr. Yob had four children from previous marriages. When he married his new wife, Zaleha Zainul Abidin, at an advanced age, he did not think he would be able to be a father.

Five years ago, Zaleha was pregnant but unfortunately had a miscarriage. She no longer wanted to have a child with Mr. Yob because she had reached menopause. But a miracle happened.

"This is a blessing, I am grateful for it. My husband and I did not think we could conceive naturally and have a baby at this age," said the 42-year-old woman.

Mr. Yob said he was very happy to become a father again at the age of 80. He said he always tried to stay healthy so he could be with his wife and children. Although he rarely exercises, Mr. Yob often uses herbs to maintain his health. He himself does not eat or sleep too much, but spends time meditating.

"I hope Nur (the girl's name) will grow up to be a healthy and upright woman," said Mr. Yob.

The story of Yob and his wife having a child at the age of 80, shared on their personal page, attracted 5.4 million views and tens of thousands of comments. Besides the blessings for Yob and his wife, some people said that they were inspired and had more confidence in having children.
