as like a “teenage engagement” sort of thing, since it wasn’t a legal thing and they could always break up if they didn’t work out, a freshman (15f) and junior (17m) at my high school agreed to get engaged.
I recently got engaged to my fiancé at age 18.
a 16 year old kid who used to play minecraft with me
I knew a girl in elementary school that would always say she was engaged, and that her fiance went to a different school. Needless to say, nobody believed either claim.
Until high school, when it turned out to be true.
There was no telling if it was originally just kids playing pretend and turned serious, or if they were serious all along, but they stayed together all through school, and got married not long after graduation. Still together, last I heard.
I want to say she first mentioned it in the sixth grade, but it could have been fifth. I know it was sixth when she would show off her ring, which was a silver band with a tiny little stone in it. Again, nobody really believed her, and there’s no way to know if that really was an engagement ring, or what.
So I believe it realistic to say she was engaged at 12, or was at least claiming to be.
Was this some sort of arranged marriage?
16, my father, didn’t work out
I don’t know why you’d think marrying your father at 16 would work out.
Lived in West Africa. 14 was common, with a few “promised” kids as low as 8/9/10. To dudes in their 30s and 40s.
But hey, the US has this all the time, and is no better than developing countries in some states.
Still sick. Ew
I know a couple that was betrothed before they were even born.
Seriously?? If so, how?
The parents arrange it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arranged_marriage
