A long article in the German paper “Die Welt” about the plight of young Rroma girls who are wed at the age of 13 or so.

Yes it happens, but no, it is not common among all Rroma. This is a typical Vlach tradition that is not common in other places. But otherwise, for a change quite well informed. They are true in the fact that traditionally, the first boyfriend is one’s husband. Overall, the article in not bad.
