The Boy Who Became a Father at Nine!

According to Saed News’ society service, citing Hamshahri, these are just a few examples of the youngest parents in the world.

A 9-Year-Old Chinese Father
Despite China’s strict population control laws, some people continue to follow traditional customs regarding childbirth. In certain regions, children are declared husband and wife based on long-standing local customs. Some believe that a child should marry upon reaching the age of 10. This unusual tradition has existed for centuries and is still observed in some areas.

One of the most extraordinary cases dates back to 1910, more than 100 years ago, when a 9-year-old boy married an 8-year-old girl and became a father within the same year. Little is known about the names of the young parents, but records indicate that the couple eventually had four children.

The Youngest Father in England

More recently, his 15-year-old daughter also became a mother, making him the youngest known grandfather in the world. He has stated that he has done everything possible to ensure his children do not repeat his early mistakes.

They met for the first time in primary school and went on to become England’s youngest parents. Family members report that the couple shares a deep bond and are raising their child with help from their mothers.
