Fact-check
To verify, GhanaFact used Google Lens to trace the origin of the video and find the context in which it first appeared on the internet.
GhanaFact traced the video to a TikTok user – baongoc._.93 who shared the video on August, 9, 2024, with the caption: “The older sister weighs 700g and the younger sister weighs 900g. Mom’s two lovely angels. The two are grown up now and understand their mother very well.”
The post had 2.1 million likes, 24.2K comments, 132K bookmarks and 141K shares since the video emerged.
The original video is 2 minutes and 51 seconds long, and shows another person whose legs appear to be a woman’s in a green dress sitting at the foot of the bed. Meanwhile, another significant verification point is a map on the video showing that the video was captured at Long An Paediatrics Hospital · Tan An, a hospital located in Vietnam.
GhanaFact noted the TikTok user with 159.9K followers pinned three different videos of the children on her page between August 9 and August 11, 2024.
The video shared on August 11, 2024, showed an elderly woman carrying the baby on her chest while speaking in Vietnamese. Comments suggest the woman was the mother of the children.
Verdict
Therefore, the claim that a 60-year-old Pakistani married a young girl of age 11 and had a baby with her at age 12 is false.
