Khaberni - The spread of a video clip on social media in Turkey has sparked widespread controversy after it showed footage of the engagement of two young children, in an incident described as "contrary to logic and humanity," prompting citizens to call for immediate official intervention.
Turkish users circulated the video, which was said to have been filmed in one of the Turkish villages, where a boy and a girl appeared in traditional engagement attire amidst a full-blown family celebration.
The clip caused a huge shock among the public, especially since the features of the children suggest that they have not even reached adolescence yet.
Comments flooded the digital platforms condemning the incident, while many citizens sent direct messages to the Turkish Ministry of Family and Social Services, demanding an investigation and accountability of the families who organized the celebration, and others called for stricter monitoring of practices that affect children's rights in the country.
