Girl has three kids aged 16
Last month she gave birth to her third child at the age of sixteen. The Bulgarian Tinka Angelova, first became mother at thirteen and married the year after that. When she met her husband she was still playing with dolls. Illegal according to the law for Bulgaria joined the European Union in 2007. The legal age for sex and marriage is sixteen. The officials choose not to expose this issue because they didn’t want to jeopardise their votes. Now it did come out, Bulgaria must put an end to this practise. Offenders of this law will get two years behind bars but it is just a matter of time.
This girl lives in poverty with her three kids and her husband who is nine years older. She fills her days with taking care of her children hoping that social services won’t take them away. This girl lives in fear, poverty and her childhood is taken away form her. That can’t be a happy life or the life she would have expected to have. I don’t think I have to say that this is ridiculous, outrages and unacceptable because that is obvious. It is not just a problem in Bulgaria but it happens all around the world, so I hope the Bulgarian will solve this problem and not by taking her babies, but by raise the awareness that it is not done to have sex or get married under the age of sixteen, at least.
Wow.. that's horrible..I can't imagine having three children, let alone at the age of 16. How does she manage this? I don't believe she got them willingly, I have the feeling like she was forced to having sex with some guy. What girl thinks of becoming a mother at the age of 13? Bulgaria should really do something about this!
