Bridget Rooney, 16, and husband Patrick, 18, with their parents. They got engaged on her 16th birthday and married in Lincoln last March. In many ways they were very grown up for their age, but when asked if they were planning to have children, Bridget almost collapsed with embarrassment. Although they were very young, I got the feeling they would have a long and happy marriage.
ffs guardian, there's being leftie, and there's being wholly unrealistic!

It'd be written on ethically sourced tofu by the naturally rehoused (in negative carbon footprint buildings) indigenous population of some war torn third world country.

there's not wanting to discriminate against anyone for being a gypsy, and then there's saying that a 16 and an 18 year old are going to have a long and happy marriage in a culture where the guardian itself did a report last year and reported that 60-80% of the women were victims of domestic abuse...
maybe these 2 will have a long and happy marriage. maybe he will treat her like a slave and kick the shit out her whilst cheating on her and making her have 137 kids. nobody knows. but we do know that the journalist cannot honestly believe that two kids like that are more likely to be happy than not, statistically speaking.
