It's the way it should be. It's not normal to marry after 30. Well at lest they could wait til 18 but I don't see the issue if they both want it.

Are they being forced into this?

No it is their norm /tradition whatever you wanna call it

Slight correction:
If they are indoctrinated properly, they aren't forced, if they aren't indoctrinated and want to have a normal life, then they are forced.
I'd just call all of this 'being forced' it's just that some parts need a few extra steps

More like impelled and supported to do it which then gives them the freedom and motivation to do it. But they are not required. They make kids because they can live in the same house as the their parents and the other 10 siblings. Normal people make kids late because they want independence and can't afford kids until age 30.

Can’t really tell the age of the people involved here, but if they’re around the 18 mark, I don’t know what there is to be sad about. Doing this shit at 35 would be much sadder if you ask me.

Yeah. Not long ago there was a big protest against gypsies.
One of the things it came oyt was that there are a bunch of teen moms age 13-16 in their communities. And our leftist feminists were completely blind in this case

Funnily enough, during the 8th of March this year, there was an event made by some feminist movements on the main square in Belgrade, and next to Bi, Lesbian and can't remember which other flags, there was also the Roma flag, which I can't understand, considering how many abused Roma women are forced to beg, in the main street, that's 10 or so meters away from the place where that particular event was held.
Pure idiocracy
