Ridca, 23, Becomes World's Youngest Grandmother
Ridca Stanescu
We live in different times and culture but how do you feel about these news? A woman who is only 23 years old becomes the World's youngest grandmother!
QUOTE A woman from Romania said she became the world's youngest grandmother - at the age of 23.
Ridca Stanescu, who gave birth to her daughter Maria when she was just 12 years old, said she urged her daughter not to follow in her footsteps - but Maria gave birth to her son when she was just 11.
Now 25, Stanescu, said she wanted more for her daughter.
"I am happy to be a grandmother but I wished something else for Maria - and something else for me," she said.
Stanescu said "marrying young" is a way of life in the Romanian gypsy culture. She was married at the age of 11.
"I did not try to stop my daughter getting married because this is the tradition, it's what happens," she said. Source 7

I can hear the sadness in her statements: "I wished something else for her, something else for me."
I know a lot of 11- and 12-year-old girls, and being married and a mother at that age seems crazy to me. Of course, I understand that the culture is very different, but it can't be easy to be a mother when you're still a child yourself.

How do they know she is the world's youngest? There are young girls being abused all over the world that aren't 'in the circle of things' that see this as a part of life. Nothing to celebrate here.
