We were discussing this at work the other day…
What is the world record for the youngest girl who has become pregnant and/or has had a child?
I figured that this statistic wouldn’t be listed in the Guinness Book of World Records & after checking did not see a listing for it…

For completeness, according to this site :
Youngest father: 12
Oldest mother: 63 yr. 9 mo.
Oldest father: 93 yr. 10 mo.
Youngest grandmother: 17
Youngest grandfather: 29

In the first “Believe it or Not” compilation book, there is an item about a Chinese couple, both aged five, who had a healthy boy around the turn of the century. I think BION is generally reliable.
Well, I did see a headline on various newspapers and such in the last week about a Nigerian girl, I believe it was, who aborted at about 4 months after being raped. The girl is 9.

If they are going by Chinese age system (you are born aged 1) that couple would be four years old by our western reckoning.
::eek:: either way.

Who are the fathers of the babies born to babies?
You’re right. Wrong continent. As I said, I didn’t read the story, just the headlines.
