An elderly widower
married his son's Brazilian girlfriend to enable her to remain
in Italy after her permit of stay expired, local media reported
Tuesday.
The man, 87, offered to wed the woman in place of his son
who was awaiting a divorce.
The marriage took place a year ago in the Tuscan town of
Villafranca in the province of Massa Carrara.
Local residents reportedly supported the "kind gesture by
an elderly father", media said.
