Becoming a mother is considered one of the precious god gifts that a woman can get in her entire life. However, entering motherhood in a tender age i.e. 6 years or 7 years is not less than havoc in the childhood but also a serious matter of concern.
Generally, a girl reaches puberty at the age of 11 or 12 years but few girls might also undergo premature menarche & end up conceiving at unbelievably young ages.
But what makes such cases more outrageous, is the fact that these girls somehow involuntarily got indulged in sexual intercourse that ended up getting them pregnant; a strong indicator of child abuse and harassment.

Moreover, her baby likewise gave birth at a very young age (suffering the same fate), specifically when she was only eight years and eight months old, making Zi the youngest grandmother.
3. Yelizaveta “Liza” Gryshchenko / Soviet Union / Age of Motherhood: 6 Years
The 5 year-old girl Liza was brought to the hospital after her belly started growing extraordinarily. Doctors observed that the girl had pubic hair & defined breasts, and her enlarged belly was due to pregnancy.

However, the extremely young mother managed to breastfeed her child for nine months.
5. Lina Medina / Peru / Age of Motherhood: 5 Years, 7 Months
Lina Medina of Ticrapo, Huancavelica Region, Peru was brought to a hospital by her parents because of her increasing abdominal size, which was suspected to be tumor.
But, the worried parents got the shock of their life, when they came to know that their 5 year-old child was in her seventh month of pregnancy, which even shocked the doctors to the core. Lina delivered a healthy baby boy, Gerardo Medina, via caesarian section on May 14, 1939.
The doctor noticed that at the time of giving birth Lina already had fully mature sexual organs. Her father, Tiburelo Medina, was actually arrested on suspicion of getting Lina pregnant, but later was released due to lack of evidence.
