An Italian couple are to become the world's oldest divorcees, after the 99-year-old husband found that his 96-year-old wife had an affair in the 1940s, the Daily Telegraph reported.

The Italian man, identified only as Antonio C, was rifling through an old chest of drawers when he made the discovery a few days before Christmas.

Notwithstanding the time that had elapsed since the betrayal, he was so upset that he immediately confronted his wife of 77 years, named as Rosa C, and demanded a divorce.

Guilt-stricken, she reportedly confessed everything. She wrote the letters to her lover during a secret affair in the 1940s.

The couple are now preparing to split, despite the ties they forged over nearly eight decades.（點擊英國《每日電訊報》查看原文）
