On 29 May 1911, Villa married María Luz Corral,[1][15] who has been described as "the most articulate of his many wives."[86] Villa met her when she was living with her widowed mother in San Andrés, where Villa for a time had his headquarters. Anti-reelectionists threatened the locals for monetary contributions to their cause, which the two women could not afford. The widow Corral did not want to seem a counter-revolutionary and went to Villa, who allowed her to make a token contribution to the cause.[87][88] Villa sought Luz Corral as his wife, but her mother was opposed; however, the two were married by a priest "in a great ceremony, attended by his military chiefs and a representative of the governor."[89] A photo of Corral with Villa, dated 1914, has been published in a collection of photos from the Revolution. It shows a sturdy woman with her hair in a bun, wearing a floor-length embellished skirt and a white blouse, with a reboso beside a smiling Villa.[90] After Villa's death, Luz Corral's marriage to Villa was challenged in court twice, and both times it was upheld as valid.[91] Together, Villa and Luz Corral had one child, a daughter, who died within a few years after birth.[88]
