I encountered one in St. Thomas. In 1923, Moses Sasso, the 29-year old reader in the synagogue married Rosa Athias Robles, age 55. Though they had no children, he later became step-father to 6 children by his second wife. But these relationships come with a certain risk. Stigma, and the social sanctions that can follow, also has been blamed for data showing that marrying a man seven to nine years younger increases a woman's mortality risk by 20 percent. That study, conducted by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany, which analyzed data from 2 million Danish couples, was published in 2010 in the journal Demography.<br />When you find out at what age Ingebord died and compare it to her likely mortality, you will know if the Max Planck Institute's research is sound.<br />-Rachel<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
