Number of young women are increasing deciding to have babies without being brides, while some just still want to tie the knot? I am just confused really... Could someone please share an idea ???

that was because not being guided by the parents and and people or environment surrounding them that influence more badly. even here in our place in Philippine city in pasay as i am living it is and i am so sad of what i have seen and witness. the society perhaps in more years to come would be more on declining discipline that would cost poverty and crime in future years to come. sorry for what i am looking forward, that was just my guess and i am hoping that can be stop. about being married i guess its not the issue but perhaps of being readiness of both parties so the baby would not be affected or could be the relation will end on broken family. i am writing to much i guess.. have a nice day.

I think the countless problems during marriage is an issue that is making young people of today have children without marrying. Many people prefer to just live together without the benefit of marriage because it is harder to get out if problems occur. This is a choice of your own. If you want to marry then it is your choice but if you want to just have a child, then you can go on with it. The problem is you will be risking so many things if you got a child without marrying. Always consider the child should you decide not to marry but have a child. It is very hard if children are involved in this problem. One because you can never be sure if you could give your child a good future. Two is your reputation as a single mother. Even in this computer age, people will always look at you and judge you if you have a child without a husband. The choice is with the person involved. But before going into the situation so many things must be taken to consideration. My advice is, unless you are prepared to face the consequences, don't try it.....

Hi, I think that is every ones own choice. If I had to do it over again, I would not have gotten married either. I was married in Holland for 9 years. Now I live in Berlin, if you get married here in Germany and it does not workout, you still have to stay married another 2 years to prove it won't work. This is like being in prison. I love my freedom. My boyfriend wants to get married, but no thanks. I believe these young women are smart.They now what they want. After all, in the early days you were already married when you had SX. There was no paper or such. And on the other hand , if you really want to get married. Are truly in love and have enough money. Then okay get married. I suppose everyone has there own opinion on this question. There is no real wrong or right. Follow your heart, that is the only advise.

I also notice that women with babies without marriage are increasing in numbers these days. Maybe teenagers now are more aggressive and less responsible why those things happens. They must be responsible enough to avoid things like pregnancy occur without being married first. And maybe we can also say that parents must give proper guidance and more attentions to their children and guide them emotionally and spiritually to avoid those things happened to their children especially to their daughters. Nice topic you got there. Keep on posting. Have a nice day.

In my opinion, I think after marriage and then having a baby that is right. I am a tradition girl, I can't bear if someone has a baby and don't know who is her baby's father, that is awful. Finding someone who loves, and you love him, after that, married, that is wonderful, now I am trying to find a one.

Having babies is a responsibility. I prefer marriage because women now a days don't know what they are doing

i'm still very traditional. i believe in marriage and babies. i guess seeing many people suffering from failed marriages, some people have the phobia of getting married and so they chose to cohabit instead. they live like married couples even have babies but just don't have the proper certification.

Well, i'm 29 and i'm a guy. I'm still single because i just came from a bad relationship but sometimes i had thoughts of impregnating a girl without really marrying her so as not to complicate things. I don't know, this sounds wrong but i really do want to have a baby now because i feel incomplete and immature and irresponsible with out it.
