Amazing that gypsies all over the world, including in the USA are engaged young. The Romanian Gypsies are actually engagedaround 4 yrs and 6 yrs. By 10/11, they marry, with the oldest bride’s around 15. The husbands are around the same age. They are expected to have a child within one year of marriage. And the groom’s family pays a dowry to the bride’s family. There was a series on TV called “my big fat gypsy wedding”. Very interesting culture
