I thing doesnt matter are thay married or not, at first i shall help for a child care. At 19 years thay are kids themself, so thay need some support.

It would be very difficult for me to face all this. Because in my country, this is a disgrace, and I would be very embarrassed. One way, of course have to get married. Because I do not want, my grandchild was born without a father.

If my daughter gets pregnant at 19 years old I will support her. I will baby sit so she can continue with her education. I wouldn't demand for her to marry her boyfriend. If one of my sons gets a girl pregnant when they are 19 years old I would make him to be decent father. I wouldn't ask him to marry his girlfriend. In todays world many teen girls get pregnant. I will try to ask my sons and daughter to use birth control if they get into a serious relationship.

I wouldn't demand any of my children to get married. If they are 19 years old, they are legally an adult, so I don't think you can demand them. I would be supportive of them in what decision they choose. I would try to help out as much as possible to help them out.

19 years old is an adult. I would allow them the freedom to make their own choice. Learning comes from the consequences of our choices. Love them but let them learn.

marriage would be an easy escape. Escape from gossip, escape from embarrassment but i don't think marriage is the long term solution. If the kids are studying then it's to their best interest to continue with their studies and not get married yet.

I'd like him/her to be married.But i feel they might not listen to our plea to be married.These sort of instances though unpleasant have been happening for quite some time now.What i'm worried is the youngsters have physically matured but have they matured emotionally and developed sufficient maturity to be parents and fulfill all the duties of a parent?

19years are old enought to have a baby I suggest you to marri them becouse they have a responsibility of what they have done. its not alowed to kill an inocent baby (abortion)they have to learn that anything they do there are a consequence do they hafe to face it not run away from it

I think it's best to solicit the opinion of both parties. More than marriage, I think the kids need parental support. Having a child at the age of 19 is not going to be easy. Responsibility will come in early. My cousin in law got a girl pregnant at the age of 18 but decided not to get married since he wasn't ready yet. It is essential that both parties agree in order for a marriage to work out. More than the issue of marriage, I think the attention would be on the unborn baby.
