A WIFE told yesterday how she became the world's youngest gran - at just 23.
Mum-of-two Rifca Stanescu was 12 when she had her first child Maria.
She urged the girl not to follow her example - but Maria gave birth to son Ion while only 11.
Rifca had married jewellery seller Ionel Stanescu when she was 11 and he was 13.
They eloped because Rifca feared her father wanted her to marry another village lad in Investi, Romania. She was forgiven when she had her daughter - making her mum, also Maria, a great-gran at 40.
Son Nicolae was born a year later. The young mum later tried to persuade Maria to stay at school.
But Maria left to wed when she was ten - and had her baby six months later.
Rifca cuddled grandson Ion, now two, and said: "I am happy to be a grandmother but wished more for Maria."
Britain's youngest gran was an unnamed 26-year-old from Rotherham, Yorks. Her daughter, 12, gave birth in 1999.

I’m thinking living in a village has got to age you. No moisturizers, no nice soaps, and a day of working extremely hard. A granny at 23 is unbelievable to me.

Y’know, I was thinking, my oldest cat broke this record. She became a grandma at just 2 1/2 when her 1-year old daughter had kittens.

Reminds me of Chris Rock’s take on grandma’s named “Pam”.

Is it just me, or does it look like Benny Hill was reincarnated as a Romanian girl?

She looks a LOT older than 23. Well, in fairness, she was 23 when her grandkid was born, but the kid is now over two years old. I'd guess the photo was taken recently for the article, which makes her at least 25.
Still, she looks pretty old even for 25.
