CHONGQING, China, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- A 107-year-old woman in the Chinese city of Chongqing says she is looking to get married for the first time in her life.

Wang Guiying said at her advanced age she is growing increasingly concerned that time is running out on her chance at finding a husband, The Sun (Britain) reported Monday.

"I'm already 107 and I still haven't got married," Wang said. "What will happen if I don't hurry up and find a husband?"

Wang said finding an ideal mate would also allow her to become less of a burden to her family members, who she says have their own familial concerns to focus on.

"My nephews and nieces are getting older and their children are already tied up with their own families and I am becoming more and more of a burden," she said.

The Sun said Wang does have at least one prerequisite for a potential hubby. She requires any potential suitors to be at least 100 years old.
