Over 30 years of marriage, Duda Balje recounts meeting her husband: I was 16 years old, I became a mother after a year

Kosovo Assembly Member, Duda Balje has a long love story with her husband. In a story on "Opinion" on TV Klan, she says that she met him when she was 16 years old through family connections. At the age of 17, she became a mother for the first time and today they have 3 children.
The MP says she has noticed a change in families in Kosovo. She says her generation was raised in a traditional way, but parents are trying to educate their children in a modern way.
Blendi Fevziu: How old were you when you got married?
Duda Balje: I gave birth to my first son at 16, 17. Without an ID card.
Blendi Fevziu: Have you been together for 30 or so years?
Duda Balje: More than 30. We have two sons and a daughter. We have a very stable marriage. In Kosovo, I don't believe these numbers... here it's a little different.
Blendi Fevziu: Society in Kosovo is a little more traditional.
Duda Balje: It's on the move.
Blendi Fevziu: Tell me a little bit about how you met?
Duda Balje: Among the family. I lived in Vojvodina and then I came to Kosovo. In fact, it was tradition like that, it wasn't just me. It wasn't like 1 in 15 or 1 in 20, it was normal. I think the main factor is that youth in Kosovo is very confused, we lived in a traditional family but we influenced the children that the girl should be educated, to be more independent, I have both the boy and the girl and we have made a mix. We have a very traditional family, but we want to make the children very modern.
