Shocking: The Youngest Girl To Have A Baby Was Only 5-Years Old

Puberty, a process where a kid matures into an adult and becomes 100% capable for a sexual reproduction, generally starts when a girl is around 10 – 11 years old. The primary mark of a female’s puberty — often called “menarche (1st occurrence of menstruation)” is the onset. And this puberty process is considered complete when she reaches 16 or 17. However, you will be shocked to read about some documented cases of very early puberty onsets, often referred as “precocious puberty”.

It happens when the child’s body starts changing into adult very soon. So, a puberty that starts before 9 in boys and 8 in girls is called precocious puberty. This is exactly when you see quick growth of muscles, bones, body shape, body size and ability to sexually reproduce. Precocious Puberty might happen due to brain infections or tumor. And shockingly, girls, who experience premature menarche often end up conceiving in unbelievably very young ages.

Many people are surprised when they learn that the youngest woman in the history of birth was only five years old. Sometimes they are even more surprised to learn that the younger grandmother was only 17 years old. But due to a medical condition known as “precocious puberty” (note of the producer: also due to men who rape girls), many women reach sexual maturity at age when other children are just out of infancy. Here are ten cases, all verified by medical science, of women who gave birth between the ages of five and eight.

What makes these cases outrageous is that these girls involve themselves in sexual intercourse without even knowing what’s happening to them. So, have you ever come across any such cases?

She was only 5 ½ when she gave birth to her baby and it was through a cesarean section.

Due to her increasing abdomen size, Lina’s parents assumed that she had a tumor. She was taken to a hospital, where she was found to be 7-months pregnant. While questioning her parents, the doctors understood that she had entered “precocious puberty”. She was raped and police suspected her father for this. He was even arrested for such a horrifying sexual abuse but he was released later since there were no proper evidences proving if he was involved. Hence, the newborn’s biological father was never known. To this date, Lina is reported to be the youngest girl in the world to deliver a baby.
