Many seem stuck between the traditional Roma women’s lives and their dreams. In Roma society it’s usual for a girl to marry at 16 or 17 years old, half of these girls are older. Minka from Slovenia, who is 20 years old, said "Where I come from I am old to not be married, in Slovenia its normal to marry at 17 or 18, My sister was 18 when she married. But my mother doesn’t want to marry me and my younger sister too early. She doesn’t like it; she was only 14 when she was married. I have had a Roma boyfriend for the last 1 and half year, I don’t know if we will marry. So far he has agreed that I can finish my technical high school first. When we get married I will have to stop my studies, because then I have to stay at home and do the work of a wife – but I would like to be a fashion designer."
