Lina Medina. Cantik kan namanya? Namun, siapa tahu dia pernah mencipta rekod yang pada akal waras manusia biasa adalah sangat mustahil. Namun, kuasa Allah siapa tahu. Segalanya sudah tersurat dengan penuh atur tanpa cela setiap ketentuan dan percaturanNYA adalah yang terbaik buat hambaNYA.
Kisah ini pertama kali saya dengar ketika dalam kelas sewaktu belajar topic ‘disorder of menstrual cycle’. Rata-rata sahabat dalam kelas turut sama terkejut dan simpati mendengarkan kisah yang diceritakan oleh doctor.
Lina Medina merupakan ibu paling muda yang direkod di dalam sejarah. Namanya tercatat sebagai ‘the youngest mother’ di dalam World Book of Record. Sehingga hari ini tiada lagi yang berjaya memecah rekod ibu muda ini. Agak-agak berapa umur dia ya?
Dilahirkan di Ticrapo Peru, Medina dibawa oleh kedua ibu bapanya ke hospital pada umur 5 tahun atas sebab penambahan bentuk fizikal yang kian tampak berisi. Pada mulanya, doctor hanya mengesyaki di dalam perutnya yang besar itu terdapat tumor, namun kemudian doctor mengesahkan bahawa Lina yang berusia 5 tahun itu sedang sarat mengandung 7 bulan!
Dr. Gerardo Lozada membawanya ke Lima, Peru untuk mendapatkan pengesahan daripada pakar-pakar yang lain tentang kes itu. Sebulan setengah kemudian, Lina selamat melahirkan seorang bayi lelaki seberat 2.7kg melalui pembedahan ‘ceasarean section’ dan bayinya diberi nama Gerardo bersempena doctor yang merawatnya.
Antara rekod lain yang dicatat, Lina mula akil baligh (menarche) seawal usia 8 bulan atau dalam catatan lain 2 ½ tahun. Dan seawal usia 4 tahun juga, dia sudah mempunyai perkembangan fizikal seperti remaja perempuan yang lain. Pada usia 5 tahun, Lina turut mengalami ‘pelvic widening’ dan pertumbuhan tulang yang cepat.
Anaknya, Gerardo menyangka bahawa Lina merupakan kakaknya. Pada usia 10 tahun, dia diberitahu bahawa Lina adalah ibunya. Gerardo membesar dengan sihat namun meninggal dunia pada usia 40 tahun. [Doctor cakap sebab sewaktu Lina mengandung, doctor terpaksa menggunakan x-ray untuk mengesahkan kehamilan itu dan effectnya adalah kepada baby, sebab terdedah kepada sinaran radioactive]
Namun, sehingga kini Lina tidak pernah mendedahkan siapakah bapa kepada anaknya itu. Ayahnya pernah ditahan kerana disyaki merogolnya namun kemudiannya dilepaskan atas sebab kekurangan bahan bukti. Dan siapa bapa sebenar kepada bayinya kekal misteri hingga ke hari ini.

Kisah ini saya dapat setelah di ‘google’ ditambah apa yang doctor cerita. Terfikir, kanak-kanak yang baru berusia 5 tahun sudah mempunyai seorang anak dan dengan izin Allah, anaknya itu dapat membesar hingga dewasa. Kuasa Allah yang menetapkan setiap kejadian itu berlaku diiringi hikmah kemudiannya. Pasti ada asbab musabab Allah takdirkan begitu. Supaya kita yang tahu berfikir dan menggunakan anugerah akal ini berfikir dan mengambil iktibar daripadanya.
Selain Lina, terdapat beberapa lagi ibu muda yang lain yang saya tidak tahu kewujudan kisah mereka. Kebanyakannya hamil adalah akibat dirogol datuk, bapa, jiran, rakan. Kenapa tergamak seorang lelaki memperlakukan seorang kanak-kanak yang belum lagi sedekad hidup di bumi Allah sebegitu. Adakah sebab nafsu yang menggila? Allahu Allah, sedih sangat melihat fenomena sebegini. Kisah rogol, zina, sumbang mahram meruntun hati.
Ditambah situasi zaman sekarang yang kian membarah. Kes-kes buang anak merata-rata. Hampir tiap hari,ada saja bayi-bayi yang ditinggalkan di mana-mana. Sedangkan jasad kecil itu langsung tidak punyai dosa. Yang berdosa menggunung tinggi adalah ibu bapanya yang berzina, membuang anak dan membunuh. Gembira agaknya dapat kumpul dosa banyak-banyak. Nasib baiklah dosa itu tidak berbau. Agaknya, kalau dosa itu berbau, sudah pasti kita dapat membezakan antara mereka yang peribadinya dihiasi sifat mahmudah senantiasa dengan yang sebaliknya.
Berikut antara ibu-ibu termuda direkodkan di dunia. Malaysia pun ada. Sumber disini.
