Child brides: Citys youngest newlyweds are often Hispanic – Stamford, Connecticut
Tagged: Connecticut, GuatemalaPosted on: December 18th, 2006“The Escalantes ages make their marriage unusual, but their story is not. Young Hispanic couples comprise an increasing number of newlyweds in Stamford.
Over the last five years, nearly 30 percent of the newlyweds identified themselves as Hispanic, behind only whites, who made up about a half of the total. Nearly all of the youngest couples, which include several teenage brides and grooms, identified themselves as Hispanic. Most came from Guatemala — the most common country of birth for Stamford newlyweds after the United States.”
