Turk Finds ‘Ideal’ Mate--His Ex-Wife

Maybe computers know best.

A man who divorced his wife after a bitter six-year court battle and turned to a computer service to find himself the “ideal” mate was surprised when--from among 2,000 prospective brides--the machine selected his former wife.

“I did not know that my ex-wife had been the ideal counterpart for a marriage,” Suleyman Guresci was quoted as saying by the Anatolia News Agency before re-marrying Nesrin Caglasa.

“I decided to give a try by being more tolerant toward her,” he added.

The couple, whose first marriage lasted 21 years, divorced nine months ago because of “severe disharmony” after living apart for six years, Anatolia reported.

Each one, without the other knowing, turned to the same municipal computer matching service to find a new partner.
