An eleven year old girl hospitalized yesterday night in the Mudurnu
district of Bolu province of northern Turkey turned out to be eight
months pregnant, daily Hürriyet reported.
The girl was brought
to the emergency room by her 25 year-old 'husband' last night, who
refused to let her stay overnight when the doctors discovered her real
condition.
The two had been brought together by religious
ceremonies with no legal ties, since the girl's age prevented any formal
marital proceedings.
Private hospital security guards tried to stop members of the press from taking pictures of the eleven year-old girl.
The
hospital did not initiate any formal processes, despite the minor's
age, and sent her back home with her husband, daily Hürriyet reported.
