Sa isang barangay sa San Nicolas, Batangas sa taong 2017, natagpuan ng mga mananaliksik na isa sa bawat siyam na ina sa barangay ay teen-ager noong sila ay unang nabuntis. Tanggap ang maagang pagbubuntis basta’t kasal ang ina, maging bago o pagkatapos mabuntis mangyari ito. Batay sa mga salaysay, hindi itinuturing na problema ang maagang pagbubuntis basta’t naikasal at nananatiling magasawa ang nabuntis at nakabuntis.
