Matchmaker Roza Syabitova believes that it is a punishment for an older man to marry a young girl.
But what if a 17-year-old falls in love with a woman over 70?
There are many prejudices against relationships with large age gaps. For some a few years difference is acceptable, for others even 50 years is no problem.
A similar story happened to Gary and Almeda. When the young man was 17, he met 71-year-old Almeda and fell in love.
Many did not believe that such love was possible, but the couple did not pay attention to gossip.
