Im so against in marrying just coz' your pregnant. I always told my friends its not because of the child your going to tie a knot. Its not a solution, whether your boyfriend/girlfriend or simply a one night affair. If you(the guys) want to carry the name of your child, well guess what my friend, we now have a new family code. You dont have to be married for the child have your name. As long the approved of it the child can have it.
Marriage is so sacred. Both the partners have to be prepared for this union. marrying for the sake of the is like making him the reason for the marriage. Not making the Love be the reason for it.
What's your thought fellow lotters?

No way! If that is the only reason you're marrying then it's better for you to stay single instead. Your pregnant so you probably have boyfriend. So? It is still not enough of a reason to tie the knot. I've known married couples who covertly, some overtly, wished they didn't marry just because the girl is pregnant. I applaud the new family code, by the way. WIth lots of hyperactive, hormone-driven individuals, the number of single, pregnant women is increasing. Good thing they still use their minds and did not succumb to marriage just because of it. I do know that it would probably affect the way the baby would be raised later on but it would depend on how you treat the child and explain to him about the situation.

your post reminds me of the "So what!" episode of The Tyra Banks Show. Its makes me say "Im pregnant, SO WHAT!"
I love your comment on how the single pregnant woman now use their heads and did not go through marriage just coz' of it. And I definitely agree that it will really depends on how you treat the child and explain bout the situation.

Love is an essential of marriage not a child. If you just married because your incidentally got pregnant forget to be married with your partner. Marriage is not a hot food that when you feel burning your tough you may pull-out in your mouth. You can rise your children without father or just the father help you in financial matter.

Marrying because I got pregnant was the biggest mistake I ever made. So it's a big DON'T.

So far friend didnt claim marrying coz she got pregnant a mistake. But my friends and I are now seeing results that aren't good. Fights, Decision that are not discussed. etc. Specially the caring of the child.
