Rifca Stanescu, from the village of Investi, Romania, told how she gave birth to her daughter, Maria, while only 13, the Daily Mail reports. Despite her mother's pleas to stay in school, Maria gave birth to son Ion at the age of 11. Rifca, now 25, told the Sun: 'I am happy to be a grandmother but I wished something else for Maria - and something else for me.
'Ion is a good boy - and he is already engaged to a girl aged 8. Boys are always good to have - they don't have to suffer as much girls I think.' Born in 1985, Rifca defied her family's wishes and ran away with jewellery seller Ionel Stanescu when she was 11 and he was 13.
That's just plain wrong . . . 11!!!!! *shakes head* I saw a doco about this, they marry them off for cash/gold/cars. Child prostitution comes to mind. So sad.

Gypsy wife becomes world's youngest grandmother at 23
"The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change. So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger, but in wisdom, understanding and love." ~ Jennifer Edwards

What can one say to that???
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs, Jolted by every pebble on the road.
You can’t drive into the future if you are looking into a rear vision mirror.
