At 23, I was still in college, partying on Tuesday nights and flitting in and out of classes during the day. What were you doing? Even if you had a child, you definitely didn't have a grandchild, like 23-year-old Rifca Stanescu of Romania, who is said to be the world's youngest grandmother. (Although, according to Wikipedia, the youngest grandmother was 17-year-old Mum-Zi of Nigeria.)

Rifca eloped when she was 11 in fear of being forced into marriage by her father, gave birth to daughter Maria at age 12. Now 11-year-old Maria has given birth to baby Nicolae after marrying last year. Rifca says she's glad to be a grandma, but had wished more for Maria.

 

 

I just hope the two young moms have lots of support; it's going to be a challenging road ahead for all three generations. And I hope Nicolae breaks the cycle and waits until he's an adult to be a parent. I was about to suggest someone send him some clips of Teen Mom, but he will probably get a taste of teen mom chaos in his own home.

 

Marrying at 11 and having a child?

 

Now all the family needs to do is move to america and the gubment foot da bill

If Romania didn't contribute tiny female gymnasts to humanity, they wouldn't provide any significance at all.

Wow, 11 y.o.!?! I would have expected this story to come out of some poor African country. Not Romania.

I heard nothing that you said. In fact, I don't think I'll ever be able to stop staring at your avatar.

Abortion seems perfectly reasonable in this situation.

Youngest grandmother:

 

The youngest grandmother whose history is authenticated is Mum-Zi, a member of Chief Akkiri's harem on the island of Calabar, Nigeria, became a mother at 8 years and 4 months. Her daughter also delivered a child at age 8, making Mum-Zi a grandmother at age 17.

 

Youngest great-great-great grandmother:

 

On March 8, 1987, Harriet Holmes of Newfoundland, Canada (born January 17, 1899) became the youngest living great-great-great grandmother at 88 years 50 days. Her family averaged 17.6 years per generation.

 

Youngest mother:

 

The youngest mother whose history is authenticated is Lina Medina, who delivered a 6-pound boy by cesarean section in Lima, Peru in 1939, at an age of 5 years and 7 months. The child was raised as her brother and only discovered that Lina was his mother when he was 10.

 

Girls such as this suffer from a hormonal imbalance, or precocious puberty, which is characterized by premature secondary sex characteristic development. In a small percentage ovarian and uterine development appropriate for fertility also occurs, making pregnancy possible. Lina, for instance, began menstruating at age 3.

 

Umm... I think the girl may have been suffering from being raped at 4 years old...

wtf
