His policies aside, I don't see ANY problem him getting married even in the heat of time. It is encouraged to do rather than dating or having hide n seek relationship and then media and the very us catching him making more fuss later. Consenting adult has free choice given by Allah. 62 year old, family not agreeing - does he need approvals from them/supporters/me/you? He might not have very good support of his family in the past and might have bitter experience convincing them. It is entirely his family matter to involve them or not. We do support court marriages, don't we? But alas, we have started watching too much sas bahu dramas of our neighbours and now screaming "nahinnnn" from different angles of camera shot.
