Marriage is complicated enough so I wouldn't make it even more so by marrying someone with a child unless he's a widower cause that's a bit different than someone whose ex is still in the picture.

To my mind there are times when the relationship can be manipulated by the partner you have replaced, because the children are still there.

I would if I loved the man. I would take it slow and get to know his child first. I would also like to meet the childs mother and assure her that when her child was with me I would take good care of it and would love to have open communiction between all three of us. However I know this would be in an ideal world and not everyone would like this but this is what I woud want to do!

i think if you love that person...then thats what matters..if you loved him for what he is then it shouldnt be a problem even if he had a kid..

Bad idea to marry someone who allready has a child...but if you are sure of that person's attitude about the whole situation it should make things easier for you...unless you only find out later when they get all weird and make you feel guilty for their past mistakes...in a case like that, LET GO and run for the hills!!!!!!

What do you mean that is already married and has a kid? If someone is married, you should leave them alone, not break up a family.. How would you like it to happen to you?? You know what goes around comes back around.. If I am off course I am sorry.. Tell me what you mean, please..

Well are they Muslim? Or do you mean they were married but are divorced now? I think that it depends on the situation,

Let me point out clearly. He is already a married person and has a kid but not yet divorced. He likes to marry another gal. She doesnt know his past married life and he too didnt tell her anything of his past life. So later she comes to know about him through someone so do you think its true love. Now if you are in a situation like this.. whats ur opinion?

I would and I have. My wife had 2 kids when I married her and we have had a wonderful relationship. So it can be done if you "choose" to make it happen.

In that situation, I say take him to the cleaners. As he is lying to both wives about being true to each. This is also illeagal anywhere I have been.

If this person is already married, in the USA, you have to wait until he or she is divorced. But if you mean would I marry a person who has been married and has a kid, I would have to consider all aspects of the relationship. The child would certainly be something that was important. When you marry someone, you take on the whole family whether you want to or not. Unless your mate gives up his or her family completely. And that is usually not healthy. I would not marry someone with whom I could not have a good relationship with his minor children. If I loved him, I would work on making that happen. If he had adult children, then we would have to talk about it. If they are not too close then I guess you would have to take each case on its own merits and make your decision.

I probably wouldnt. It would just be to complicated. There would probably be a lot of ex wife drama.

Would I? I’d be sceptical. I trust you mean someone who has been married, otherwise that said person could end up in jail. I don’t think the kid aspect would bother me too much to be honest, at the end of the day, if we were close. I loved them, there was trust and commitment, his history in that sense would have no bearing.

no because i wouldnt be able to love somone elses kid like my own and that would just not be fair to the kid

My husband has two kids from his previous marriage and he was a single dad, so when we got involved I became a stepmom. I love him, I had to accept his children also.

No way! That's considered Bigomy, which is against the law. There are some cults and religions who adopted the idea of more than one wife.... I figure a man can hardly handle one woman, let alone a few who will be cat fighting over him! Personally, I wouldn't want a man like that anyway.

You do mean who was married...not still is. Right? Just clarifying? If I wasn't already married...of course. There are different circumstances why people get divorced. Some just don't work out. As long as both parties (including the children) know what to expect from the marriage...it can definitely work!

Not if they were still married no. Not only should it make you feel like a home recker but it is unlawful as well. Although I see nothing wrong with marrying someone who has been married before, or if they have children. I am divorced and have 3 children yet I had no problem finding a new boyfriend. I think it would depend alot on if the person liked kids or not. I love kids so even having 3 myself I would not mind marrying someone who had there own.
