Remember back in Elementary school when you had pretend marraiges that only lasted from recess until last period? How about just high school freshman year flings? You look back at some of those pictures and remember how cute that person was then but now they look like they've been through a thing or two.
Now imagine that when you two were "married" back in the day it was sorta, kinda, official. .
A 14 year old girl has become the youngest ever to get divorced in Israel - after a rabbinical court ruled that a joke marriage ceremony she'd taken part in was valid.
The girl got accidentally married to a 17-year-old boy after joking around in the schoolyard. The boy recited the Jewish marriage ritual, declared her his wife, and she then accepted a ring from him - in front of witnesses.
Israel's Rabbinical Courts ruled that this - along with what they described as the consummation of the marriage - was enough to make them officially wed. " [Source - It happened in the UK]
That's a little much, but why go through the trouble of planning a mock ceremony without looking up all the facts? Surely she should have had some idea about what she was getting herself into.
Being divorced at 14 is not cute. I'm sure it gives you premature wrinkles or something.
