11-year-old gives birth on her wedding day

3News NZ

An 11-year old girl in Bulgaria has given birth to a baby girl after going into labour on her wedding day.

Kordeza Zhelyazkova became pregnant shortly after her 10th birthday and was all set to marry boyfriend Jeliazko Dimitrov when she went into labour during her wedding.

The bride-to-be was still wearing her wedding dress and tiara when she arrived at hospital to give birth to daughter Violeta.

She told Britain’s News of the World tabloid: “I’m not going to play with toys any more – I have a new toy now.”

Zhelyazkova, thought to be the world’s youngest mother, admitted that she had not known about sex education or even how to get pregnant. She presumed she was putting on weight from eating too many burgers. It was her grandmother who guessed she was pregnant.

Zhelyazkova’s 19-year-old husband is now facing up to six years in jail for having sex with a minor.

She won't be a good mother. She doesn't know anything about motherhood and not even sexuality ( beside the congenital sex drive, which is even known by animals ).
And the worst thing: She sees her baby as a new toy. 0-0
I suppose her own mother or the grandmother will take care of the baby.
I'm pretty sure of it, because I worked as an assistant in a gynecological doctor's office. All these pre-teen mothers have left their children to their own mothers, when they became older and go partying with boyfriends and stuff ( their mothers always complained about this ).
Such young mothers are in these days ( we're not in the middle-ages anymore ) not able to take responsibility.

And about the 19-years old father: Well, he's just a filthy pedophile and deserves more than he get ( yes even if he's from a different culture ... because a 10 years old girl is a child ... even if her body started to pruduce female hormones -> you know that a girl can get pregnant shortly BEFORE her firt menstruation? )

Must have been a long pregnancy if she became pregnant "shortly after her 10th birthday" but didn't give birth until she was 11...?!

Most people except for a few missed the point that this girl was only 10 Years Old when this paedophile had sex with her. He is an animal and probably preying on younguns cause the older women probably get creeped out in his company. In my books justice would be to de-sex this animal.
