The youngest grandmother in the world is Rifka Stanescu. World fame fell on this Romanian of gypsy origin in a completely unexpected way. And the thing is that by her 23rd anniversary, she managed to become not only a mother, but also a grandmother.
When she escaped from her home with Ionel Stanescu, a jewelry seller, she was barely eleven years old, and her newly made bridegroom was thirteen. Although, according to Gypsy customs, Rifka was already promised to another as a wife, still a year after the escape she married Ionela. Very soon, they had a daughter, and a little later, a son.
I would like to note that such early marriages among gypsies are absolutely not uncommon, because for marriage it is very important that the bride be virgin. Grooms pay a decent ransom for her, and if it turns out that the girl was already in proximity with another man, the marriage transaction can simply break. Having become a mother quite early, Rifka tried to diligently raise her daughter, inspired her with thoughts about the need for education and the difficulties of early marriage. However, Mary married even earlier than her mother, and at the age of 11 she gave birth to her firstborn, son Jonah. Thus, Rifka was noted as the youngest grandmother in the world. Interestingly, from a young age, Ion is also already engaged - so requires gypsy culture and customs. Therefore, it is very possible that Rifka will become the youngest great-grandmother in the world. The title "The Youngest Grandmother in the World", obtained by Rifka Stanescu, is officially recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.

However, according to Wikipedia, one of the wives of a high-ranking official, the Mum-Zi Nigerian, became a grandmother even earlier, at 17, having given birth to a daughter at eight full years and four months. It was real nonsense, but the story did not end there. Heredity played a decisive role, and her daughter brought her first child at eight years and eight months. It’s even hard to believe, because it turns out that the youngest grandmother in the world, Mum-Zi, raised her daughter at a time when the other children painted with colored pencils in albums and taught rhymes by heart, and when peers passed final exams and sewed dresses for school ball, she already raised a grandson!
Competition of young grandmothers
Continuing the conversation about young grandmothers, one can not help but talk about the grandmothers beauty contest held in Brazil. At first glance, it seems that the age of its participants barely reaches the 30-year mark, or even less. In fact, they became grandmothers in a timely manner, their age ranges, on average, from 45 to 55 years.
Residents of a country where there are many, many wild monkeys break all stereotypes and ideas about how a woman with grandchildren should look. These beautiful young grandmothers perform in fairly revealing swimsuits, allowing you to enjoy the view of the beautiful magnificent forms of their well-groomed sports bodies. There is an opinion that the ideal figures of Brazilian women are a “side” effect of a hot climate, however, it is difficult not to notice the abundance of silicone, traces of surgical plastics and cosmetic suspenders. Nevertheless, they are admirable, because self-care requires a lot of time! Endless visits to the beautician, hours spent in the gym, healthy eating - all this is hard labor. Participation in the contest, awareness of the perfection of your ideal body and impeccable beauty makes the faces of young grandmothers glow with the most charming smiles.
