16 with permission, my sister got married to her husband at 16, but legally without anyone 18.

She got married at 16?
Jephy · 36-40, M
Yep.
Jephy · 36-40, M
She ended up getting divorced a few years later. She only did it for "personal reasons"

@Jephy: What possible reason is there to get married even you're still a child?
Jephy · 36-40, M
I think her reasoning was she didn't want chaperoned dates anymore, and had some idea that married just for the reason of sex was a good idea.

After talking to my brother who knew more about my sister's problems. Apparently, she married a non-gypsy who told her that hand fed my sister lies about it being the 'typical' gypsy thing and get married young. Which is a far cry from Romani culture -_-

@Jephy: Your family has to reevaluate their lives.
Jephy · 36-40, M
Nah, I don't have to reevaluate anything. Our Rom Baro and the kris already talked to my sister about her problems. She was young, and gorgers like to take a advantage of women.
