i have seen people in our place get married because they are pregnant... do you think that's a valid reason? will your marriage last if that was the reason why you got married? coz for me, i don't think so... i am not in favor of getting married just because i'm pregnant... how about you???

I think that is is not such a wonderful thing to get married just because the lady is pregnant. Hormones can get mixed up during the pregnancy leading to moods and high emotion. If the relationship is meant to be the couple could get married sometime in the future if they feel they are compatible and in love. If they marry during the pregnancy than both their lives will change when the baby is born. Having a baby can put a relationship under pressure and marriage is not magical answer. I know a lady and she got engaged then she got pregnant. Unfortunately she miscarried the baby and her intended said that there was no need to marry her now she had lost the baby! They did get married and had two daughters. I think he is a horrible person. He is so selfish and uncaring.

that's so sad... that's really one of the reasons why people should not get married when they are not prepared and sure..

it should not be a reason to get married! just because they're pregnant then they had to get married... youll just get married if you really love each other, and not just because you have gotten her pregnant! it will just cause quarrels, that may lead to divorce....

and if divorce will be the output, then why marry???

Getting married just because a baby is coming is never a good reason . A child will not keep a marriage together if that is the only reason behind the marriage . Having a baby is a big commitment but if both parents are not willing to work on the relationship then it will doomed before it ever begins for the simple fact that as exciting as it is to have a baby , it still puts a strain on a relationship . Having a baby changes everything in a relationship .
A goood friend of mine got married because she was pregnant . Today she has three little one's and although she cares for the guy she is with she is not in love with hm , she is quick to say that she never would have stayed with the guy she is with has she not been told she had to marry him . She was young at the time and her parents pretty much told her she had to get married because they were going to have a baby together . They are two completely different people and often times she is not happy with her life . As much as she loves her children it is not the life she had intended to lead and eventually I figure they will no longer be together .

precisely!!!
i have to agree with you... i have known a lot of people also who were regretful because they married at an early age and just because they were pregnant... mostly, cases like this doesn't last.

No, it is wrong to marry just because the girl is pregnant. I understand the side of some girls, though. Sometimes, a girl has to swallow her pride and ask the man who got her pregnant to marry her because of several factors. Fear is one factor: fear of being disgraced, of being shun away by family and society, of being a single mom and raising the child alone. It is not easy when one is in such a situation. Most single individuals who have not yet gone through such an ordeal would readily say that they will never marry for the reason of being pregnant, but sometimes, when faced with such a predicament personally, their principles and beliefs would waver. This is understandable because we live in a society where a single mistake such as this would put us to shame. There are women, though, who are exceptionally strong when it comes to such situation, and would never, never ask marriage for their own reasons. I admire such women. But I also do not consider women who get married because they are pregnant as weak. Each has a reason of their own. It's just that, each woman has been brought up differently in society. I think it also depends on upbringing. But I still disagree on getting married because of being pregnant, especially if the guy is just being forced to marry the girl. Most often than not, it would only create more problems inside marriage, leading to more frustrations, and shattered lives.

yeah... they make their own choices... that is their right...
and i would like to agree with what you have written on the last part... it's really different when men are the ones being forced. coz girls will try to make it work and eventually, will be able to learn to love the guy (doesn't happen at all times though)... but when it comes to guys, if they don't... then they don't...

I think that is not the best reason to get married. Marriage is something sacred ans should be done with feelings of love and affection. It should not be something that is based on just getting pregnant. Though there are people who do that and have found love with succesful marriage, but still, I do not think that deciding to marry should be based on such situation. @enavnai13 (509)

same with you, i don't think getting married is the answer when you're get pregnant. I heard lots of people specially teenagers whose got pregnant without plan and they're parents want to get them married...After a a year or less, they will both decide to seperated..And the innocent baby will suffer for their faults. It's better not to get married first, plan everything and not only for the sake of one of them but also for the sake of everyone specially to the baby...

most likely that would really be the result... marrying out of plans??? a very rare case to survive...

I know that often if a girl was pregnant and not married then she was a disgrace to her family and her family was disgraced because of her. To make up for that she was often married to the one who got her pregnant dispite what either party feels. Often that was the logical excuse but it did end quite badly.
I know I don't feel that if I got pregnant I'd want to marry because of that. Of course, I wouldn't get in that position to begin with. I'd plan everything out as well as I could. But I still feel marrying just because someone's pregnant isn't the best idea.

same here, its always a reason why couples now adays get married, that is because the girl is pregant and dont want her/his child to be a eligitimate...but i dont think its a good idea, on my part i wont indulge into things that might not help the relationship to grow up! But still its their decision.
