The 14-year-old with the initials AJ gave birth to her child in the city's maternity hospital, after a year of dating a 21-year-old. Due to his age, the latter was detained by the police, after he admitted to the paternity of the child in a statement in front of the blue uniforms.

The 14-year-old from the Roma community has opposed this action of the police, saying that she wants the 21-year-old to be released and calls him her husband.

"I have known my husband for a year. We met in Elbasan. I told my parents too. They agreed and I have a year with him. I have a child with him, why are they arresting him? He didn't take me hard. I want my husband to be released, who will feed me? What about my child? (Crying) I want you to release me from today. I have no way to live, I only have that, I had a side job. The one who brought me home to eat was working. He worked two jobs, both day and night to bring me bread home. I want to be released. "Mom and dad came to me from Milot, I haven't given any statement to the police, but since yesterday I have been notified about my husband in the police," said the girl.

On the other hand, the parents of the 14-year-old girl reacted with the same attitude, who said that they agreed on their daughter's relationship, married her against her will and demanded the release of the child's father.

"He fell in love with a girl and we agreed. I want the groom to come out as soon as possible. That's how we got married, small. I too have been married for 12 years. Age is not a problem for us, in our race we marry young. We married our daughter willingly. We are from Elbasan and we married the girl in Korça willingly. I want the groom to come out as soon as possible. He works and carries the bride. When he was born, the police were notified about the case. Her husband accompanied the girl to the hospital", said Luljeta Jenuzi, the mother of the minor.

"I am the girl's father. The girl is married willingly, to her mother, to her father. We gave him permission to marry him in Korça because I am from Elbasan. The groom did not take it hard. After the girl was born, we had problems because they took my son-in-law to the police. The girl has been married for almost a year and a half. I want the groom to be released an hour earlier because we are Roma and the Roma race marry young. Here I have them, I have 6 children. I married my daughter, but the state that enters into this matter is without reason. I tell the state to release my son-in-law. I came from Milot with my family, I also have my girlfriend here and I am telling the state to release my son-in-law", said Shpëtim Jenuzi, the minor's mother.

The 21-year-old is expected to appear before the black squads in the Court of Korça within 72 hours to be familiar with the security measure for the criminal offense of "sexual or homosexual relations with minors". The minor girl gave birth to her baby in the maternity hospital of the city of Korça, but the detention of the child's father has irritated the Roma family, who called on the state to release him, accusing the state of interfering in this situation. without reason./ CNA
