102-yo shocks adult children with marriage to caregiver of 17 years
102-yo shocks adult children with marriage to caregiver of 17 years
2026-01-09
Does proximity make the heart grow fonder? The nine children of 102-year-old Mr. Wang were shocked to learn that their elderly father had married his 68-year-old caregiver of 17 years. They found out when the youngest son wanted to visit their dad in central Taipei on Thursday, only to be denied entry to the apartment by Ms. Lai, the former caregiver who is now his stepmother. She even hired another caregiver to take over her job. The marriage was confirmed to be legitimate, but Mr. Wang’s children believe Lai had taken advantage of their aging father, and are taking the matter to court. Let’s take a look at our exclusive report.
- Ms. Lai, we’re here to see dad. You can’t stop us from visiting my father!
The youngest son of a 102-year-old man is paying a visit, only to be denied entry by his caregiver, who’s hired another caregiver to take over her job. But that’s not the most shocking part. The caregiver is now his stepmother.
- The borough official told me that as his spouse, I have the right to refuse.
The younger Mr. Wang was exasperated that he was barred from entering his father’s residence in central Taipei. He also strongly doubts the caregiver’s motive marrying his father.

My father’s 102 years old. He got married, and none of us nine children knew. Would you find this to be reasonable in any way?
The elder Mr. Wang’s rapidly declining health put him under long-term live-in care. His children found out that the marriage was registered only on Monday Jan. 5.

Ms. Lai did all she could to stop us from taking our father back to his hometown, so he could be surrounded by our extended family. She only admitted that she’s now the spouse of his. I was so shocked, and so was the police.
The younger Mr. Wang said that on Jan. 8, he and his siblings arrived at their father’s place to take him out for a walk. To their bewilderment, his caregiver tried to stop them, and so they called the police. When the police arrived, they were shocked to learn, upon an ID inspection, that Lai was married to their father. She revealed that the registration was completed three days before, and as his spouse, she had the power to make decisions on his behalf. She retorted that after the elder Wang was sent to ER when he fell down last June, the doctor advised him against going out to crowded public spaces.

We were on the right side in the beginning. But after she showed her ID, I told the police that there’s nothing I can do at this point. This is a civil case now. You can’t imagine just how greedy she is.
Lai had been Wang’s live-in caregiver for 17 years. Considering their father’s rapidly deteriorating condition, the children had applied to gain guardianship of him in November. They did not imagine that he would get married before the court made a decision on the case.

Over the years she’s taken care of my father, he’s gained seven properties and about NT$80 million in insurance coverage under his name.
According to the Household Registration Office that approved the marriage, Mr. Wang was coherent in making statements, and so the marriage was legal and valid. Still, it’s a nasty surprise for the kids, who were completely left in the dark and are now taking the matter to court.

百歲人瑞跟六旬看護結婚 9子女"通通不知情"疑有所圖
2026-01-09
百歲人瑞結婚，9名子女卻都不知情！台北市一名王先生，1月8號去爸爸住處，準備帶102歲的老父親，出門走走、透透氣，結果，遭到68歲的女看護阻撓，甚至還報警，等到員警到場後，看護才拿出身分證，表示他和老先生在幾天前，已經登記結婚，這讓老翁子女難以接受，懷疑看護有所圖。帶您來看民視的獨家報導。
“賴小姐 我們要來看爸爸 你不能禁止讓我看我爸爸耶”
兒子來探望102歲的爸爸，沒想到，竟然被看護拒絕，而這位看護竟然請另外一個看護來照顧父親。
“里幹事剛講說我是他配偶有權力拒絕”
想看爸爸，不得其門而入，王先生無奈又錯愕，甚至也質疑，這一樁婚姻的背後，是為了龐大的利益。

“我爸爸102歲了，他結婚，我們9個子女完全都不知道，你說這樣合理嗎？”
王先生的爸爸長期因病需要照護，幾天前，卻突然被看護告知，他們倆在1月5號登記結婚。

“賴小姐進來之後，她極力地阻擋我爸爸跟我們回老家，感受天倫之樂。(警察)來了後，她才表示說，我是他的配偶，我當場嚇一跳，警察也嚇一跳。”
王先生說，在1月8號當天，他跟其他兄弟姐妹，來到爸爸的住處，要帶他出門透透氣，沒想到，看護卻在一旁百般阻撓，還找來警察。最後，賴姓女子才拿出身分證，表明倆人在三天前，已經完成結婚登記，有權替臥病的配偶作決定。高齡102歲的老翁，去年6月因為跌倒，送進急診，還被醫師診斷不宜搬動、出入人潮多的地方

“本來我們還有立場，(對方)出示身分證之後，我就跟警察講說，已經是這樣了，那個是民事的問題。她的貪婪程度是你無法想像的。”
賴姓女子擔任王姓老翁的看護，時間已經長達17年，由於老先生近年來的身體每況愈下，子女們也在去年11月，向法院聲請監護宣告，但沒想到，宣告還沒下來，老父親已經多了一名配偶。
[[當事人小兒子 王豐壽]]
“在照顧我爸爸的這段期間，他們增加了7間的房地產，還有大概八千萬的保險金。”
戶政事務所表示，結婚登記時，老翁對答如流，一切合法。不過爸爸的看護，突然變成的繼母，讓當兒子的難以接受，要和看護對簿公堂。
