Anna Puu gets to hear her great-grandmother’s arresting story in the Sukuni salat program. MTV3

Vocalist Anna Puu42, finds out Sukuni prayer –through the program about the history of his family. The program is hosted Marja Hintikka.

Anna Puu gets to hear about her noble roots in the episode. In the father’s family, there is an ancestor who lived in the 18th century, who became a rich and influential lady of several Hämäläinen mansions and the mother of 16 children.

But first born in 1714 Eva Catharina von Birckholtz was, however, a 12-year-old child bride who was trafficked by her own father into marriage with an adult man.

The seed of the marriage came from a juicy manor dispute, which he also wrote about at the time Zacharias Topelius. Eva’s father had bought the Jutikkala manor, when the former owner’s son walked in enraged and demanded that the manor be returned to his family. The father refused, but after thinking for a moment, he offered his daughter, who was playing with a sled in the yard, in exchange for all the estates of his family.

The deals were made, and the red-cheeked girl was whisked away from the games to meet her suitor.

– What’s wrong with those men? Anna Puu flinches after hearing the truth.

– I’m exhausted. I’m a little angry, he says.

Puu hears that even though the situation is cruel to a child in modern eyes, in the 18th century girls were raised from a young age to prepare for marriage. At that time, celibacy was the most insecure and worst condition for a woman. The program reminds us that modern childhood was born only in the 19th century.

The wedding bells rang when Eva’s great-grandmother was 13.5 years old. The first child was born when she was 14. Marja Hintikka reminds that Anna Puuu’s daughter is the same age.

– I don’t think that children are any different than today. It’s a different thing to hear and learn what it’s like to be a wife than to actually be a wife to an adult man, Anna Puu thinks.

Hintikka lists to Puu the ancestor’s childhood history. A staggering number of children were born, a total of 16. Marja Hintikka jokes about her great-grandmother having sex.

– My uterus is starting to hurt! Let the Tree rip.

He believes that his foremother lived a full life in her shabby mansions, which was not lacking in noise and bustle. Puu says that she now better understands her own “mistress” nature and her preference for beautiful dishes.
