Yikes.

Kordeza went into labor during the wedding ceremony to her teenage boyfriend Jeliazko Dimitrov. She still was still wearing the white dress and tiara when she gave birth to her daughter, Violeta.

Dimitrov, who is facing up to six year in prison for having sex with a minor, met Kordeza on the playground of her Roma gypsy school in Sliven, Bulgaria. Within a week Kordeza was pregnant.

Her family greeted the news warmly as a girl giving birth at 13 years of age is fairly regular in Sliven.

For now Dimitrov, his child bride and baby will live separately as prosecutors the statutory rape case. The legal age in Bulgaria is 14. Kordeza will live with her grandmother in a dilapidated house in Sliven’s gypsy ghetto.

On her plans for the future, Kordeza says, “I don’t want more children right away. I think one is enough for now.”

That’s probably best.

She sure doesn’t look 11. Let’s hope for the baby’s sake that her family steps in to help.

Barb commented on Nov 02 09 at 4:36 pm

Good Lord is right. Whether she’s 11 or not, I hope that she’s got a good family to help her out. She’s going to need it.

She looks way older than she is in part, I imagine, because her milk has come in.

Jessie commented on Nov 02 09 at 6:12 pm

Why does it matter how old she looks? 11 is a child, barely old enough to consent to many things, and most of us would argue, certainly not old enough to consent to sex. Each partner has the responsibility to ascertain the competence of the other to consent to sex; the young man didn’t live up in this case - or just disregarded the consequences. How old she looks is utterly meaningless. That’s like saying someone didn’t get raped because she was pretty or “looked like she wanted to have sex.”

This news item isn’t as straight forward as it seems. Please do not beleive everything you read. In this case, many of the facts have been left out. The husband, far from being the bad one, is quite simply not. I know a few things about this case and what I will say is that this girl is innocent and so is the husband. Law enforcement is involved, and not how you would think either. You have to remember that Rroma are treated as lower than dirt in many countries, by the public and by law enforcement officers.

I REALLY HOPE THAT BOTH SIDES OF THE NEW BORN CHILDS FAMILY CAN SUPPORT THAT CHILD AND I JUST HOPE THE BEST FOR THAT CHILD AND THE PARENTS! AND I HOPE FOR ALL THOESE YOUNG TEENAGERS JUST THINK BEFORE YOU TRY AND HAVE A CHILD AT A YOUNG AGE.

what does it matter it is none of your business, people these days need to stop being so nosy because believe it or not you all have a lot more important things to be worrying about, and just because the british culture frowns down on stuff like this doesnt nesicerilly mean that its wrong, good god people get a grip
