Maternity of Korca

A serious event was recorded in Korça, where a 14-year-old woman gave birth to a child.

The police announced that the baby's father is a 21-year-old man, Dritson Kurti, who was put in handcuffs. Relatives of the couple have spoken about this issue.

Fidarie Kurti, the grandmother of the 21-year-old said that they traditionally marry at the age of 12-13. She says that they consider it an insult if they take their brides at an older age.

"We Kurbats have a tradition of getting married early, at 12-13 years old, now they have passed a law. We have a tradition, if the chupa grows, we don't take it. We are offended. We ask for help for the boy, they took him because the maid is small. I have a pension, he worked there in the municipality, in the garbage. He takes care of his wife and children. His mother died. Now let the government think, what are these laws? Are they out now? We have been getting married young. Now the government issued laws? Will the government join the curbs? We take young brides and teach them. We don't take them big, we consider it an insult if they are big", she said.

Shpëtim Jonuzi, the minor's father, also said that they have a tradition of getting married at this age. He says that his son-in-law and daughter are married for love.

"Marriages have taken place, it has taken place with Kamala. We are Roma, that's how we are. Why did you take my son-in-law? We married them with love and harmony. You got it for nothing. Release an hour or so before. This is my daughter. He didn't take it hard, he took it willingly. The state should not interfere in our affairs. Release him as soon as possible. To listen to me. I want my son-in-law to be released, to make the child happy", declared the father of the 14-year-old girl.
