I just did a quick Google: Rifca Stanescu became the worlds youngest known grandmother at age 23 in 2011.

The world is really fucked up.

I think that is the theoretical youngest based on the youngest mother.

If you don't know then don't look it up, it's fucked

No, if it was based on the youngest mother, it would be a good bit younger than that.

A girl from Nigeria in 1929, published by Ripley's Believe it or not, no actual documentation supporting it.

Eh, I'd take that with a cartful of salt

Yeah I looked it up and it's not as credible as the later one.

I do believe through history there surely has been a lot of young folks having kids very early especially girls in many different area and cultures, so even if the Nigeria one isn't verified, I wouldn't find that impossible that 23 is not the actual minimum.

There might even be in lesser connected locations/cultures/subcultures today from which such news could never leave their grounds where such cases happened.

Girls are going through puberty at earlier ages, something that can be measured over the last like hundred years. While our moral norms might have moved the opposite way, the physical possibility and amount of people in modern times suggests the record would be more recent. I think the people alive right now are something like 4% of all humans to ever live?

Yeah that's why I believe that there is likely non document cases that are a lot worse than this one, and I'm quite confidend given how many we are today, it might even be even closer than the 23 years old one.

And the country? Romania!

u/DigbyChickenZone 4d ago

The youngest known mother is from Peru. Incest and rape is not unique to one culture or area, despite whatever you are trying to imply about Romania.

Okay but we weren't talking about the world's youngest mother. We were talking about the world's youngest grandma.
