Freddie Aguilar wants to marry his 16 year old girlfriend. He wants to covert to Islam so he can do it legally. Huh? Whassup with that? Watcha Think? Sixty-year-old music icon Freddie Aguilar is determined to do whatever it takes to be able to marry his 16-year-old girlfriend at the soonest possible time even if it would mean converting to Islam. Aguilar said his fans and “big names” in the Muslim community had been supportive of his controversial May-December affair with a minor. Some of the Muslims even suggested that they should have an Islamic wedding, he added. Although he was not completely sold on the idea, Aguilar said he was considering changing his religion as an option. (According to Aguilar, he’s a “Born Again Catholic.”) “But, of course, we have to know first the legalities, the rules and regulations. If we can comply with the rules, then why not? Otherwise, we’ll explore other options,” he said. “I will find ways.” His girlfriend, he said, was open to converting to Islam. “I’ve also talked to her family. And they told me if that was what it would take to resolve the issue, they would consider it.” Aguilar said his girlfriend’s parents had already given their consent to their marriage. “The family has only one request; they want the wedding in their hometown in Oriental Mindoro,” he said. With his girlfriend turning 17 on Nov. 29, does Aguilar have any plans on how they will celebrate? “I asked what she wanted to do on her birthday and she told me it was still far off… Now we’re thinking we wouldn’t have to wait much longer [until the girl turns 18]. I hope we have already found a solution [to our getting married] by then,” he said.
