Two Comorian decrees govern retirement
WBL 2.0 relies on Decree No. 14-176/PR of 5 December 2014 and on Article 3 of Decree No. 07-108/PR of 5 July 2007 to conclude that the retirement age is equal. The exact age remains unpublished.
The Comorian pension fund: a documentary gap
The Comoros does not appear among the country profiles of the 2019 Africa volume of US Social Security, and our notes do not name the pension body. For a claim, contact your former employer or the relevant Comorian administration directly.
Comorian widows and widowers facing remarriage
According to the World Bank, a woman does not have the same right to remarry as a man (Family Code, Articles 66 and 79). Before a new union, keep your late spouse's death certificate and have your situation checked.
Loving again in Moroni after 50
After a working life or once the children have left home, many Comorians want stable companionship. A later-life relationship often starts through relatives, community or religious life, and then online. Take time to get to know the person.
Comorian families and a late new union
Adult children may worry about a remarriage, especially regarding inheritance or the family home. Explain your plan and listen to their fears without handing them the decision. A sincere partner will agree to meet your relatives and answer their questions.
People over 60, a target for scammers
According to the FBI, people aged 60 and over filed 7,626 romance scam complaints in 2024 and reported 389 million dollars in losses, more than half of the losses in this category. The risk is real for everyone.
Losses of defrauded seniors: the FBI's 2025 figures
In 2025 the FBI recorded 201,266 complaints from people aged 60 and over, across all frauds, with 7.748 billion dollars in losses and an average loss of 38,500 dollars. 12,444 complainants lost more than 100,000 dollars.
The typical victim profile according to Action Fraud
In the United Kingdom, Action Fraud reported for 2018 an average age of 50 among romance scam victims, 63% of them women. Women lost on average twice as much as men. A regular pension attracts fraudsters.
Calling on a child or trusted relative
Show the profile of the person you met to a relative, ask them to run a reverse image search and tell them about any request for money. An outside eye quickly spots the inconsistencies that attachment keeps you from seeing.
Sites for Muslim seniors and apps
Muslima, part of the Cupid Media network, welcomes Muslims of all ages from 18, and buzzArab lists the Comoros. Silverlove appears in the list of Cupid Media sites, but our notes have not verified it for the archipelago. Tinder mainly targets a general audience.
Retired diaspora between France and the islands
Comorian retirees who split their time between France and the archipelago often meet mixed couples: see dating between Africans and Europeans. The general framework is summarised on the Comoros overview, and late divorce in divorced singles in the Comoros.
Comparing with Malagasy seniors
For retirees living between the archipelago and the Big Island, our page on senior dating in Madagascar presents a different pension and remarriage framework. Always compare the rules before moving or marrying.
