Helen Jackson kept the marriage secret until recently. Although her husband had married her to give her his pension, she didn’t apply for it because she didn’t want to alienate his children and become known in town as the girl who married a man four times her age for money.
Boy, times have changed haven’t they? Today she could have abortions, genital mutilation, sex change operation, and marry a dog if she wanted to. Of course a dog doesn’t come with a pension.
