Rifca Stanescu gave birth to her daughter Maria when she was only 13! And now at 12, Maria is a mother to a 2-year-old boy.Rifca Stanescu.
在她年僅13歲的時(shí)候就生下了一個(gè)女兒！而現(xiàn)在她12歲的女兒Maria又有了一個(gè)2歲大的兒子。

Despite Rifca Stanescu’s pleas for her daughter Maria to stay in school, the 11-year-old girl ran away, got married and got pregnant with her husband’s baby. That’s right, she was only 11! History repeats itself.
盡管Rifca努力勸說女兒，讓她留在學(xué)校，而11歲的女兒還是離家出走，在外和別人結(jié)婚還懷孕了。沒錯(cuò)，她的女兒當(dāng)時(shí)只有11歲！歷史又重演了。

At the age of 11, Rifca ran away with her now husband Ionel, who was only 13 at the time. The pair got married and conceived Maria. “I am happy to be a grandmother but I wished something else for Maria – and something else for me,” Rifca tells the The Sun. “Ion is a good boy – and he is already engaged to a girl aged 8. Boys are always good to have – they don’t have to suffer as much girls I think.’
Rifca在11歲的時(shí)候和丈夫Ionel私奔，當(dāng)時(shí)她的丈夫也只有13歲。他們夫妻結(jié)婚的時(shí)候就懷著女兒Maria?！拔液芨吲d做了奶奶，但是我希望Maria和我都能擁有一些其他的東西。”Rifca接受《太陽(yáng)報(bào)》采訪時(shí)說?！癐on(Rifca的孫子)是個(gè)好孩子——而且他已經(jīng)和一個(gè)8歲的女孩訂婚了。我覺得男孩子還是不要談太多次戀愛比較好?！?/div>

Already engaged? Seems weird right, but in Romanian gypsy culture that’s normal. Rifca was promised to be married to someone else at the age of two, but once she met Ionel, she denied her family’s wishes and ran away with him. “I wanted to marry him, so I agreed, and of course after we had spent the night together then there was no way anyone could separate us,” Rifca explains.
(2歲大的Ion)已經(jīng)訂婚了？有些奇怪啊，但是在羅馬尼亞吉普賽文化中這種行為是非常正常的。Rifca在2歲的時(shí)候也跟別人定過婚，只不過當(dāng)她一遇見Ionel，就違背了家族的意志和Ionel私奔了?！拔蚁爰藿o他，所以我就答應(yīng)了，當(dāng)然在我們倆在那一夜私定終身之后就沒有人能把我們分開了?！盧ifca解釋說。

In gypsy culture, virginity is greatly prized and girls marry young so that their new husbands are assured they are virgins. If a woman loses her virginity before marriage, the deal is off. After Maria’s birth, Ionel’s family paid Rifca’s father a dowry and so that everything could be settled.
在吉普賽文化中，女人的處子之身是被看得相當(dāng)重的，女孩很早就結(jié)婚可以保證他們丈夫娶到的妻子會(huì)是處女。如果一個(gè)女人在婚前失貞的話，婚約就會(huì)取消。在Maria出生之后，Rifca的父親收下了Ionel家的嫁妝，這樣事情就算是搞定了。

So when Maria decided at the age of 11 to get married, Rifca couldn’t really do anything about it. “I did not try to stop my daughter getting married because this is the tradition,” she says, “it’s what happens.“
所以當(dāng)Maria決定11歲結(jié)婚時(shí)，Rifca什么也做不了?！拔覜]有努力的去阻止我女兒結(jié)婚，因?yàn)檫@就是傳統(tǒng)，”她說，“就是這樣?！?/div>
