In some countries around the world, some children may be forced to marry adults at a young age, such as the Southeast Asian country of Indonesia, which allows girls aged 16 or under to marry if their parents ask. It was supposed to be the age of serious study and happy play, but when the mind and body are immature, they will be forced to learn to be the wife of an adult man, and even be raped. This is almost beyond our imagination!
Fortunately, Indonesia amended the marriage law enacted in 1974 in 2019, raising the minimum legal age of marriage for women to 19 years old. However, a social incident involving the pregnancy of a 12-year-old girl recently broke out locally. A woman stated in an online PO video that she found out that the girl was 8 months pregnant, but the person did not know it at all!
According to comprehensive Indonesian media reports, the woman posted a video on the TikTok account “@mommychutela”. She took a girl named Xiaohua (Bunga) to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. During the 2-hour journey from the clinic, the road surface was quite rough. Xiaohua felt unwell and vomited. Later, the doctor found that the girl was 8 months pregnant. The woman thought that Xiaohua had been sexually assaulted, so she took her home for a temporary stay. Xiaohua ate snacks and watched cartoons like children of the same age, but It is quite embarrassing to have a pregnant belly.
In the video, Xiaohua is seen lying on the sofa, eating snacks and watching cartoons like other children, and can also obediently drink vitamins for pregnant women with water. The woman sighs in the video, “Even she doesn’t understand what happened in her body. What… She was embarrassed and uncomfortable when she had to lift up her clothes for inspection, she was really as innocent as a child of the same age”, Xiaohua is 12 years old like her oldest son, and she should have fun, much Get along with her family and enjoy the happiness of her teenage years, but Xiaohua has to face her protruding pregnant belly for ultrasound and childbirth.
The woman said that Xiaohua had been a victim of sexual harassment before she became pregnant, but she did not explain the ins and outs of the unwanted pregnancy, and Xiaohua is the daughter of her gardener, and she will post the girl’s story on the Internet, hoping to remind parents , it is necessary to properly protect and care for children, “because crimes come not only from strangers we do not know, but also from people close to us”.
