The world's youngest grandmother
China News Service, March 8. According to Taiwan's "United Daily News" report on the 8th, Romanian Gypsy Ravka Stanaiscu is the world's youngest grandmother. A grandmother, she gave birth to a daughter at the age of 12, and her daughter gave birth to a grandson at the age of 11, which made her a grandmother at the age of 23, and her mother became a great-grandmother at the age of 40.
Revka, 25, who lives in the village of Infanti in Romania, said in an interview that she eloped and married 13-year-old Stan Escu when she was 11 because she did not want to. Let her father arrange to marry another boy in the village. She was engaged to the boy when she was 2 years old.
Revka gave birth to her daughter Maria at the age of 12, and her son Nikolai a year later. She did not want her daughter to have a baby as early as she did and wanted her to stay in school and study more. However, her daughter followed in her footsteps and got married at the age of 10 and gave birth to Aion six months later.
Revka held her two-year-old grandson Aion and said: "I am very happy to be a grandmother, but my expectations for my daughter are more than that." She said: "Aion is a good child and has married a daughter. 8-year-old girl gets engaged."
Gypsy culture attaches great importance to a woman's chastity. Marrying a young girl ensures that the bride is a virgin, and the husband's family will give the bride's parents a bride price. If a girl loses her virginity, the engagement is broken off.
Revka said that at first her father was not very understanding of her elopement. He once attacked her husband with a knife and demanded that he pay 500,000 Romanian currency in compensation. It wasn't until she gave birth to a daughter and her husband's family gave her father a bride price that his father forgave her.
