when a single lady gets pregnant, is marriage really a solution? For me? I don't think so. it's just like adding insult to injury.. all the more if couples are not yet ready to commit, coz marriage life is more of a commitment..and usually this would result to a broken-marriage situation..

I totally agree with you. I don't think that marriage is the solution. I think they should focus more on the baby, then think about getting married, if they really want to after the baby is born. Getting married should only be done because of love, and not because the girl happens to be pregnant.

hi, yah! one should get married because of love not because of pregnancy. It is not easy to have regrets in the end. mOst especially if not yet ready to enter into a that another chapter of life that i believe requires commitment and maturity.

yeah, maturity is really an important thing and commitment, I think marriage should really be taken seriously and not just a solution to a out of wedlock pregnancies.

personally I dont think marriage is a solution to pregnancy, unless they are really really sure they want to get married. it could possibly create more problems in the future. so no for me.

hi, yah! because if the couple gets into the marriage scenario and they are not yet ready, my gosh! arguments and disagreements are always on the go and would eventually the cause of separation.

I definitely don't think that marriage is always a solution just because you get pregnant. I was sixteen when I got pregnant with my now four year old daughter, and her father only sees her once a year or when there's a health emergency and she is hospitalized (which happens quite a bit because she has health problems). My grandparents tried to say that we should have gotten married because it was the "acceptable" thing to do in their minds, but in my opinion we were way too young for that as well. I think it just depends on the situation, because I'm now pregnant with my second child with my long-time boyfriend, and we do plan on getting married someday, just not right now.

hi, definitely agree with you..i'm also a single mom and don't have any regrets in not getting married. i'm happy with my 10 year old daughter now. my life has a focus___her..i don't have any worries like most of the married women__went marrying because they got pregnant and eventually breaks up with their husbands.
