Girl, 11, gives birth on wedding day

An 11-year-old girl who gave birth on her wedding day while still dressed in a white gown and a tiara says she is excited to "have a new toy".

Kordeza Zhelyazkova from Bulgaria gave birth to 2.4kg baby girl Violeta last week but left the hospital with her newborn after only an overnight stay to finish the wedding ceremony, the News of the World reports.

The schoolgirl said she and 19-year-old husband Jeliazko Dimitrov met in the playground of her school in the industrial town of Sliven after he saved her from bullies.

Kordeza said the pair began a sexual relationship even though she did not know what a condom was and fell pregnant within a week of them meeting.

"I'm not going to play with toys anymore — I have a new toy now," she was quoted by the paper as saying.

"She is so beautiful, I love her ... Violeta is the child and I must grow up.

"I am not going back to school — I am a mother now."

Kordeza said she did not realise she was pregnant until her grandmother pointed out her weight gain.

"I just thought I'd eaten too many burgers," she said.

But Mr Dimitrov could be jailed for up to six years for having sex with a girl under 14.

"I'm scared ... I want to look after my wife and child ... instead I may be going to prison," he said.

"I made a mistake but I am not going to apologise for that because now I have beautiful Violeta."

Kordez said she was not planning on having any more children.

OMG 11 years old!!!!

She is way too young to have a baby let alone get married!!

Justs seems too young to me, some of my friends have 10yo's, cant imagine them being parents in a years time... and her referring to the baby as a toy....

very true, who would allow their child to marry at 11! honestly! a primary school aged child... it is just all wrong in my mind

and she may very well try and treat it like a toy except when you she is bored with it and throws it in the cupboard it could die!! No replacement batteries will fix that toy.

The 19y.o should've known better.... i hope he does do sometime, it is sick... and i hope her family assists in the care of this baby...

That is discusting and i cant beleive that shes had a baby and got married thats just not on...i just cant get over this..this is just wrong in every way grrrrrrrrrrrrr

omg an 11 yr old thats way to young ot be getting married and having babies whats happening to this world

omg are you serious! why hasn't he been chareged with statutory rape! That is disgusting.

geeze i struggled enough at 16 let alone 11 :O :O :O thats disgusting!
11 primary school :O :O n why the hell was he at her school grounds protecting her anyways? sounds abit like a pervert if u ask me!

He has to be, no matter how early a developer the girl is at 11 it is still obvious she's a little girl!
