I'm not condoning&nbsp;children brides &amp; mothers&nbsp;in ANY way, but they just live differently than most of us do! Teenage brides&nbsp;are very&nbsp;common in their culture. </p> <p>However, this story is heartbreaking. She's 11. She shouldn't be married, she shouldn't have given birth... ugh. Her childhood is gone. She's a baby herself! I'm 23 &amp; I couldn't even deal with a baby now!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/11-year-old-gave-birth-after-wedding-eek#post-456965 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:40:24 +0000 CorgiTales 456965@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>so sad... the part that strikes me most is that she is quitting school. i believe that women are the world's greatest untapped resource. things are so much better in many parts of the world now.... but in a lot of countries and communities nothing is really expected/encouraged of women except making babies. i wonder how much different the world would be if women had equal opportunities for quality education (or any education even).&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/11-year-old-gave-birth-after-wedding-eek#post-456959 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:32:06 +0000 cardigan 456959@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>As far as the whole "should he go to jail" thing - the article states that the law there is that they are considered underage if they are under 14. Since she's 11, I say that he broke the law and he should be punished for that. I realize that it's a different culture, and I totally understand that, but it's still unlawful there for him to have sex with an 11 year old.</p> <p>If it were here and it was an older guy having sex with a 15 year old girl (3 years under legal, same as in the story), he would definitely be sent to jail, regardless of whether or not they actually had a relationship.</p> <p>I also just wanted to agree with those who have said it's not necessarily the fault of the girls parents - it's their culture. I think it's extremely sad that this girl is not going to get to have a real childhood, but I definitely don't think that we can judge something like that that's a completely different culture than what we have here.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/11-year-old-gave-birth-after-wedding-eek#post-456950 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:24:50 +0000 Future Mrs. Martin 456950@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>W.O.W.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/11-year-old-gave-birth-after-wedding-eek#post-456907 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:46:13 +0000 DreamComeTrue 456907@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>The cycle continues. I deff think he should go to prison. Even though she lied about her age Im sure a grown man could have figured out her age. Besides he&nbsp;had&nbsp;sex with a your inexperienced girl within a week of having met her. Lastly, why are those of us in the US so&nbsp;alarmed? This happens in the US all the time it just so happens it's usually in the poor communities of the US and as a result their realities, experience, and needs often slip thru the cracks!!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/11-year-old-gave-birth-after-wedding-eek#post-456885 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:31:49 +0000 futuredrbraun 456885@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Awww that's too bad. I will pray for her, her little one, and family.</p>
