97-Year-Old Fights Sons in Court for Right to Marry Long-Time Companion

• A 97-year-old man in Singapore sought to marry his companion of 50 years after his wife's passing.
• His sons opposed the marriage, citing his advanced age and claiming he suffered from dementia after a 2017 fall.
• The sons filed a petition in Family Court to declare him legally incapacitated, leading to a legal battle.
• Medical reports confirmed mild age-related memory issues but declared him fully coherent and capable of making decisions.
• The court dismissed the sons' petition, affirming the man's mental fitness, though an appeal has been filed.
