Who owns the title "The youngest grandmother in the world"?

The youngest grandmother in the world is Rifka Stanescu. World glory fell upon this Romanian woman of gypsy origin in a completely unexpected way. And the whole point is that to her 23-year anniversary she managed to become not only a mother, but also a grandmother.

When she escaped from her home with Ionel Stanescu, the seller of jewelry, she was barely eleven years old, and the newfound bridegroom - thirteen. Although Rifka was already promised to be married to another by gypsy customs, she married Ionel a year after she escaped. Very soon they had a daughter, and a little later a son.

I would like to note that such early marriages of gypsies are not uncommon, for it is very important for a marriage that the bride is virgin. Grooms pay a decent ransom for her, and if it turns out that the girl was already in close proximity to another man, the marriage deal may just break. Early enough to become a mother, Rifka tried diligently to educate her daughter, inspired her thoughts about the need for education and the difficulties of early marriage. However, Maria married before her mother, and at the age of 11 she gave birth to her first son, Jonah's son. Thus, Rifka was noted as the youngest grandmother in the world. Interestingly, from a young age, Ion is already engaged, as the Romani culture and customs require. Therefore it is very possible that it is Rifka who will become the youngest great-grandmother in the world. The title "The youngest grandmother in the world", received by Rifka Stanescu, is officially recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.

Informal sources

However, according to Wikipedia, one of the wives of a high-ranking official, the Nigerian Mum-Zee, became a grandmother even earlier, at 17, having given birth to a daughter at eight full years and four months old. It was a real nonsense, but the story did not end there. Heredity played its decisive role, and her daughter brought the firstborn in eight years and eight months. This is even hard to believe, because it turns out that the youngest grandmother in the world, Mum-Z, raised her daughter at a time when the rest of the children painted with colored pencils in albums and learned by heart the nursery rhymes, and when the girls took the final exams and sewed dresses for the school Ball, she already brought up her grandson!

Competition of young grandmothers

Continuing the conversation about young grandmothers, you can not tell about the beauty contest of grandmothers, held in Brazil. At first sight, it seems that the age of its participants barely reaches the 30-year mark, or even less. In fact, they have become grandmothers in a timely manner, their age varies, on average, from 45 to 55 years. Residents of the country, where many, many wild monkeys, break all stereotypes and ideas about how a woman with grandchildren should look. These beautiful young grandmothers perform in fairly frank bathing suits, allowing you to enjoy the view of the beautiful lush forms of their well-groomed sports bodies. There is an opinion that ideal figures of Brazilian women are a "side effect" of hot climate, however, it is difficult not to notice the abundance of silicone, traces of surgical plastic and cosmetic braces. And yet they are worthy of admiration, because taking care of yourself requires a lot of time! Endless visits to a cosmetologist, hours spent in the gym, a healthy diet - all this is hard labor. Participation in the competition, awareness of the perfection of its ideal body and impeccable beauty makes the faces of young grandmothers shine with the most charming smiles.
