An entire theory of Joseph's being significantly older than Mary, having been previously married, having multiple children, and then being widowed before marrying Mary is invented without any biblical basis. The problem with this is that the Bible does not even hint that Joseph was married or had children before he married Mary.
Nadharia nzima ya Yusufu kuwa mkubwa kiasi kwa umri zaidi ya Mariamu, baada ya kupata jiko awali, na kuzaa watoto wengi, na kisha kuwa mjane kabla ya kuolewa na Mariamu ni tunio lilo tungwa bila msingi wowote wa Biblia. Tatizo liloko ni kwamba Biblia haina haidokezi kwamba Yosufu alikuwa ameolewa au alikuwa na watoto kabla ya kumuoa Mariamu.
