HelpRe: Eunice
in reply to a message by Billina
I just thought about this name. It was the name of a girl who got married at the age of 9, I think the youngest bride ever in the western world. Her husband was her neighbor and 22 at the time. Eunice Johns. She stayed married to her husband until he died in his 90s. You can find many articles about her, all of kind of blame her for being precocious. Really disturbing :/
I do like the name, it has a great meaning and a pretty sound. It's ready for a comeback. Eunice Hermione, Eunice Calliope and Eunice Tallulah are all really nice.

How perverted and wrong. I don't care how "precocious" a 9 year old is, no 22 year old should prey on her. I blame him.

I blame her parents and him. I know, it's horrible what they've written about her. It couldn't possibly have been her fault, she was a child.
Her mother said in some article that she still lived with her parents after she got married and that he never touched her. But she had her first child at the age of 15, 6 years later. Another article said that her husband would rock her to sleep and bought her a doll for christmas. So disturbing on so many levels. I tried to find out whether she was still alive but apparently the media didn't care about her anymore later on. The only good thing: after she got married at the age of 9 a new law was passed that you couldn't get married when you were under a specific age. They really could have thought of that before, though.

Where did this happen? The US?
I suppose I could google it, huh? :/
