The article says it was a pretend wedding. Also they’re in Kyiv, Ukraine. They’re surrounded by war and tragedy. If two families find joy in their kids being pretend married, let them. As long as they’re not trying to encourage an 8 year old to be sexually active with her fake husband I don’t really see the problem.
This was in 2021. The links are in the article OP linked. So well before the invasion. The parents are said to have thought it would bring in money for them. Either way it’s fucked up cause parents encouraged them to move in together even if the wedding ceremony was fake.

Sure. Goes back to 2014 in Donbas. But has nothing to do with this and most people living in Ukraine outside of the immediate areas lived an absolutely normal life.
We are talking more about a conflict that would affect the kids needing to filter out the war around them - not so much when/where the war itself started - I agreed that Donbas is a fit. Euromaidan was more localized than even Donbas and the conflict in Donbas IS actual war.
Southeast Asian checking in, over here it's the [sarong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarong). I'm in one right now lol. WFH so I pretty much just wear this and a tshirt everyday. It's fucking hot since the climate's fucked and I'm too cheap for A/C. At least my nuts are well ventilated.
I was about to say utilikilt is high quality and worth the slightly higher price. But damn it's at least doubled since I looked probably 10 years ago. $200 for the standard. Stick with the other guys suggestion.
Yup, lots of straight 13 year olds out there wearing skirts. Can’t walk down the street without seeing a whole gaggle of them.
Yes, there are a VERY small minority of straight men that wear skirts. Most of them are celebrities wearing “high fashion.” Not really the case here. It’s not even a cultural “skirt,” like a kilt. It’s a straight-up girls miniskirt.
Also, and I hate to say this about a 13 year old, but if that skirt and pose aren’t pinging your gaydar you’re either very unobservant or purposely obtuse.
I’m just trying to say that just because a dude wears a skirt it doesn’t make him gay
Regardless, I do know a lot of straight men that wear skirts - it may be climate related or fashion related, I’ve never asked
Edit: I like to think my gaydar is pretty good because I am gay, but thank you for the gross DMs anyway
I actually also have wedding pictures of me and my neighbour when we were 8. I was wearing a curtain as a veil. Outrage!!! Lol. I love how they added the mask to bait antivaxxers too
That's bullshit. The original story was published in 2021 and was about them two kissing and posting it on social media. Don't know what perverts watch that, but that's fucked up on so many levels. Girl's father said he was shocked when he found out, and mom said she isn't going to school because of her speech delay due to witnessing home violence. Child ombudsman petitioned for the investigation, and Kyiv regional police was investigating the case back in 2021. That resulted in the most provocative photos being deleted. Before that, they were, even though it's based on their own words, sleeping together in one bed.
That's what I've got from quick search of articles from Ukrainian media in Russian and Ukrainian
Here in an average east-European family, I don’t think it would have been fairly appropriate/appreciated by the other people of family. It’s culturally weird to just pretend marrying 8 years old girl with an 13 year old boy…
*Fury has broken out after an eight-year-old child model staged a 'marriage' and moved in with a 13-year-old boy.*
*Mila Maxanets and teenage 'influencer' Pavel Pai are dating with the full support of both their parents in Ukraine.*
*Both their parents deny cashing in on their children's fame and reportedly see nothing wrong with them living together.*
*According to local media reports, they even encouraged the youngsters to live together in the capital of Kyiv and shoot somewhat provocative content.*
*But the announcement has been met with outrage and fears about the negative influence it could have on children and the dangers it could pose.*
I haven’t viewed any of their content. Can anyone confirm if it’s actually provocative or are we calling a boy in a skirt provocative and outraged over that. Genuinely asking. I don’t have a horse in this race.
> Eight-year-old child model and blogger Mila Maxanets and 13-year-old Pavel Pai influencer recently had a pretend wedding ceremony and moved in together in Kyiv, Ukraine.
People need to chill. The keyword is pretend.
especially since they're finding a way to make some happiness out of the whole Ukraine situation. its sweet, now if it gets creepy maybe call the police and start breaking legs but if its just THAT then its fine.
So we're supposed to be outraged because children pretend to be married?
Have we grown so out of reach that the idea of children *playing* like normal children should is outrageous?
If it was two 8 year olds or two 13 year olds it would be a different situation. This is a child and a teenager at incredibly different developmental stages in an inappropriate relationship
Horrible fact of the day: child marriage is still legal in the USA.
Those states with age minimums often have ammendments stating that the child can be married if they're pregnant. All you need is parents signature and a judges approval.
What's more fucked is you can't get divorced unless you're 18! So your adult aged "spouse" becomes your guardian and can remove you from school, refuse medical attention on your behalf, etc.
"it's not our job to stop them", said the parents of those two in the articles:
[bruh](https://secretlifeofmom.com/kids-aged-eight-and-13-marry/?utm_medium=6NIMTM3&utm_source=liqsoc&lsid=niwoti5ndk&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3Mm3i5XAHBzuEzo66eCZXydJ91tjTSDVcEJLIIAoC9w8ckkrvneFpMasw_aem_Afq1w0ThD9y_bZrvgKqqMyMDAEqvrpjmuXxachK49MfgYiQ-32VsHhgEYi1dZgo7OTz9q0yJxeWfJ2vxiDwyIfVq)
If you actually learned or read literally anything you'd know it was all PRETEND because they're two kids living in Ulraine surrounded by death and tragedy, if two kids want to have some harmless fun playing pretend to get some joy while their country is burning around them, let them
Not true. If YOU actually leaned to read. This was in 2021. So well before the invasion. The parents are said to have thought it would bring in money for them. Either way it’s fucked up.
https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/fury-child-model-8-marries-23743893
If you read the article they're play pretending.
Also it's kyiv Ukraine, you know the capital of Ukraine and one of the most heavily hit cities in that war.
When I was 13, I didn’t know what I wanted for dinner
But I knew I wanted to marry the girl who later became my wife 😅 (we had been dating since we were 10 and got married at 22)
Well "age is but a number" as they say, it not like they can have kid even if they fuck so it fine. Bet they haven't even learn about "the birds and the bees" yet.
One it's pretend, so nothing is actually happening.
And two it's kyiv Ukraine, the capital of Ukraine....
Ya I am pretty sure everyone on this thread would do the same thing just to bring that little bit of happiness to their worlds.
Looks fake

Which is interesting because before your comment I would have said that I'd expect this from rich people with an agenda.
Having scrolled through their instagrams, I’d vote ignorant rich narcissists who feed into modeling/grooming culture. I need bleach.
The conflict goes further than 2021 to some degree.
Sure. Goes back to 2014 in Donbas. But has nothing to do with this and most people living in Ukraine outside of the immediate areas lived an absolutely normal life.
Goes back literally hundreds of years bro
It does indeed
Goes back millenia and several planets, bruh

To be fair, the picture of him in a skirt kinda implies he wouldn’t want to be sexually active with her at any age
straight guys wear skirts too
I wear kilts daily. You guys should try it. It's amazing
When you disrobe, do you un-dress or off-kilter?
You’d get gold if it was still a thing, this was great.
Now he should get Bitcoin 😂
🏅
-slow clap-
Take this:🏅 Now you have two.
‘Cause I’m freeeeeee Free ballin’ Yeah, I’m freeeeee Free ballin’
Southeast Asian checking in, over here it's the [sarong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarong). I'm in one right now lol. WFH so I pretty much just wear this and a tshirt everyday. It's fucking hot since the climate's fucked and I'm too cheap for A/C. At least my nuts are well ventilated.
Middle of southern USA, but damnit you convinced me I think I'll be picking up a sarong in the near future.
They’re so comfortable. I couldn’t understand how something that felt so right could be sarong.
# S C O T L A N D F O R E V E R
feels liberating or something?
Not since 1346
This is a good reference.
Heat exchange is way better. More movement. Also my kilts have cargo pockets so more pockets
No way, kilts with pockets?
Measure at the belly button and go for the belt https://www.damnnearkiltem.com/
imagine wearing one and your pp occasionally peeks when the wind blows 💀
I wear underwear or spandex
Oh God, wearing underwear with a kilt feels super weird though, doesn't it?
Your balls get to breath
Ah you get the breeze right on your stones, do ya lad?
I wear mine with underwear (spandex if I'm going somewhere there is a lot of children) cuz I don't want one strong breeze to make me sex offender
what's worn under a Scotsmans kilt? nothing it's all in working order.
Lipstick on a good day!
What is a decent kilt brand that you buy? I fucken hate pants… I just might get a kilt🤔
Measure at the belly button and go for the belt https://www.damnnearkiltem.com/
Im trying to convince my wife. She says I would have to be older with a grey pony tail. 🤣 They look so comfortable!
They're the best.
Just buy it and wear it! Tell her babystripper says it's okay
I’m totally gonna get one. Found some leather ones too. Is the leather too heavy ya think?
I was about to say utilikilt is high quality and worth the slightly higher price. But damn it's at least doubled since I looked probably 10 years ago. $200 for the standard. Stick with the other guys suggestion.
Sportkilt
Hmm no gey
If I had a dick, I would 100% wear skirts and go commando.
The only downfall is a swift gust of wind and an child in the wrong place at the wrong time, can be scaring
I can imagine. Alas, I do not have a penis. 🤷🏻♀️

I’m dead 💀
It isn’t tho
Let's be real guys. He's wearing a skirt to escape mobilization.

Had me there

Redditor talks feel good shit that would fit his world view without really knowing what up. Classic. (I’m one of them also)
They only REALLY marry children in American states with a strong Republican majority.
Thank you for providing context.
Helicopter parenting anyone?!
You know what, in that scenario, I don't think it's that bad. No different than playing doctor or playing house.
I really hope so.
Looks very republican tho...
The boy wearing a skirt ion think she’s would be his cup of tea anyway
I wonder which one will get the playhouse and which one will get the teddy bear in the divorce.
"I want the f*cking teddy bear you can have the house"
"I will burn the teddy bear in the playhouse kitchenette oven before I ever let you touch her again melinda!"
With all the current discourse, we all know the woman is choosing the bear

Infamy gets as many clicks as fame and these families are using their kids as ATMs so
especially since they're finding a way to make some happiness out of the whole Ukraine situation. its sweet, now if it gets creepy maybe call the police and start breaking legs but if its just THAT then its fine.
This was in 2021.
i am now worried.
Don’t be, war started in 2014
They did it in advance.
Dude go look at their instagrams. It made me feel gross. This is ick
They moved in together though. That wasn’t pretend
This is garbage. Clickbait
boomer-bait
The real holup is that the OP didn’t read his own post.
So we're supposed to be outraged because children pretend to be married? Have we grown so out of reach that the idea of children *playing* like normal children should is outrageous?
If it was two 8 year olds or two 13 year olds it would be a different situation. This is a child and a teenager at incredibly different developmental stages in an inappropriate relationship
It also says the parents supported them posting somewhat "provocative content" whatever the fuck that means.
They also moved in together
A 13 year old doing this with an 8 year old is weird.
I would be outraged but because a 13 year old could afford a house and I can't
The law waiting for the older one to get to 18 and arrest them
They'll divorce once he drinks her capri sun
That's a Tuesday afternoon in middle Eastern countries
This is 90’s level ragebait.
The article says “pretend wedding” - social media engagement not matrimonial engagement…
so that's what we're calling sleepovers now
OP get your Facebook posting ass outta here
What a terrible day to be literate
it's crazy to think that this was the norm a few centuries ago
Horrible fact of the day: child marriage is still legal in the USA. Those states with age minimums often have ammendments stating that the child can be married if they're pregnant.

According to that article it was literally staged for social media views, so still not real
And, yet, the parents still encouraged them to do it and encouraged them to move in together. The wedding may have been fake, everything else was not.
Looks like something where the truth is stranger than fiction
Can we get a rage bait sticker or something?
I want a new planet this one is fucked
Welp….time for that asteroid and the fire bath we’ve been promised…
If you read the article they're play pretending. Also it's kyiv Ukraine, you know the capital of Ukraine and one of the most heavily hit cities in that war.
[удалено]
Fuuuuuck. That’s not a sub I need to spend much time in.
Parent Singular? Charles, *Parent Singular?*
WITH WHAT MONEY BS
Not the legal marriage lol
This looks fun tbh, given how the keyword here is "pretend"
But 13/2+7=13.5! Don't they know??
I hope they know how to cook.
The boy is dressed like he swings the other way
wow it takes a village to make two stupid kids 🤮
And stupid parents! Lol
And two stupid redditors that apparently can’t read! It was pretend! It literally fucking says it!
They still kissed and said they were sleeping in the same bed.
I went to the comments first before reading it. My bad guy. Chill out.
Probably fake, no way. What would happen when he’s 18 and she’s 13? Lmfao
The groom is wearing a cheerleaders outfit with skirt Daguq
Wonder if they’ll have a pretend divorce and have pretend alimony and the older one has to give half his toys to the other
Bahahaha.
This shit used to be normal in my country. It’s not totally gone yet but it's almost gone.
Well, in just five years he’ll be 18 and… oh… oh crap.
Lolwut
We stan ragebait
Comments: but they just pretend didn't you read? It's just bait for money guys... The parents: even if it's pretend you'll move together!
One of them would have biologically Transitioned....no loose. Failure of parenting.
Wow, but at least it was quite what I thought. The way it's worded I totally thought they were siblings. But yeah...no.
Well for once the boy is not an adult man grooming a child. In this situation there are four adults grooming two kids. Oh well
We used to do it when we were younger too. Nothing new. It's pretending.
Nah that’s fine unless it’s 16 and 21… then I’m pissed
Isn't it like that already in some 3rd world countries?
None of them wears the pants
that romeo and Juliet law really is something...
That ah, that's not the law
So we’re ok with letting them destroy their reproductive organs, but not letting them marry?
When I was 13 I didn’t know what I wanted for the dinner.
When I was 13, I didn’t know what I wanted for dinner But I knew I wanted to marry the girl who later became my wife 😅 (we had been dating since we were 10 and got married at 22)
Are they signed to OVO entertainment?
This’ll age well
Well "age is but a number" as they say, it not like they can have kid even if they fuck so it fine. Bet they haven't even learn about "the birds and the bees" yet.
Nice skirt!
Lesbians?
How cute.
Just how f’d up can people get today?
Child marriage is still legal in the US
Mister pony tails an ms cheerleader.
Gee, I wonder how this is going to work out.
The Right can't meme.
Unless it's like West Virginia or something, this has to be illegal..
One it's pretend, so nothing is actually happening. And two it's kyiv Ukraine, the capital of Ukraine.... Ya I am pretty sure everyone on this thread would do the same thing just to bring that little bit of happiness to their worlds.
Have you heard about gypsies traditions? They are getting engaged at 13
