Kordeza – The World’s Youngest Mother

Kordeza Zhelyazkova, an 11-year-old girl from Bulgaria gave birth to a daughter, Violeta, during her wedding and became the youngest mother in the world.

Like all childhood love stories, Kordeza’s began at the playground. She was being harassed by a group of bullies, when Jeliazko Dimitrov, a 19-year-old boy appeared as her knight in shining armor. He rescued her and that’s when their romantic tale started. The young man thought she was 15 and she never revealed her real age, for fears he wouldn’t want to be with her. As the consentment limit in Bulgaria is 14, their sleeping together seemed normal to Jeliazko, but he didn’t plan on leaving her pregnant.

In Kordeza’s home town of Sliven, girls getting married as early as 13-years-old is tradition, but she pushed the envelope and even threw a pregnancy into the mix. Her family put together a Roma wedding, so the baby would be born to a real family. But the little one was too anxious and Kordeza went into labour on the second day of her wedding and was rushed to the hospital dressed in her wedding dress.

Now she might be forced to raise her child as a single mother, as her young husband faces jailtime for sleeping with a minor.

    She’s not even close to being the youngest mother in the world. The youngest is 3-years-old. But, nice article though.

  4. Whatever says:

    3 years old? Right, that sounds almost as fake as you do! Idiot!

    I don’t know about a 3 year old but there has been a 5 year old… Look it up. She started her period at 9 months though so if she’d been raped when she was 3 she definitely could have gotten pregnant so check it out before you go calling people idiots… if you didn’t even bother to look it up before jumping to conclusions you aren’t so bright yourself. It’s not so hard to go to google and type in “3 year old mother”… haven’t looked it up yet myself but I’m not being rude about it before I have. Look up the 5 year old. It’s true.

    An amendment to my other post: a different source than the one I found previously states that the girl (who was a Peruvian girl named Lina Medina) started menstruating at 3 years, not 9 months. She gave birth to a baby boy (by c-section obviously) in May of 1939. The parents raised the boy as her brother instead of her son and he did not know until he was 10 that his “sister” was actually his mother. Also she did not have another child until 1972 33 years after her first son.

    3 years old..!!

    Are you nuts? its not even practically possible even if you tries to do that because its necessary first for a girl to reach a age when her mentural periods will start and then she can get pregnant and that time comes at the age of atleast 8 or above..
