Should women who get pregnant outside of marriage have to marry the father?

Why do people say it's bad to get married just because of a pregnancy?Should women who get pregnant outside of marriage have to marry the father?
Yes, it's a bad idea. Most ';shotgun weddings'; don't work.





The reason for this is that a good marriage needs to be based on trust, love, mutual respect, intimacy, and communication (among other things). In the case of unplanned children out of wedlock, the relationship tends to be only based on sex.Should women who get pregnant outside of marriage have to marry the father?
They say its bad because marriage is something special and if your only getting married because you are having a child then most likely it will end in divorce. You should love eachother and want to be with eachother for the rest of your life. Having a child is not easy. It can cause a lot of problems between people. For example, each parent may want to raise the child differently. If your not fully committed to eachother how can the marriage work when you are bringing a child into this world? I believe that you should be married when having children but sadly it doesnt always happen like that.
Heck no I am sure that most of the marriages that come because of a pregnancy end in a divorce. Why waste money on wedding for it just to turn bad. Imagine being the kid and 5 years old and nowing your parents only got married because she got pregnant with you and now your getting a divorce because you to got married for the wrong reason. How would that make the kids feel, kids already blame stuff like that on themselves anyways so why make it the actuall reason
No, you shouldn't get married because of a child. Then it will most likely turn out that you and you ';husband'; will make the child miserable because you might turn out fighting because God didn't intend for you to marry that man. So no you don't have to marry, him and I advise you not to.
Only marry if there was an ongoing loving relationship there already, never marry just for the sake of the baby, it will help nobody.


The father should take responsibility for his child financially and with being there for them with time and caring when needed.
The real question is why to women get pregnant outside of marriage in the first place right? It is not fair to the child and the father.
I don't really think so. I think you'll end up ruing your life and his if you get married just because of your child. Yes the father should be involved in the child's life but I would never force people to get married
i think people say that because most pregnancies that happen between unmarried people happen with young people and people think the marriage won't last because the couple is too young
No. It often ends in abusive relationships, cheating, divorce and lots of yelling and screaming a child should not be around.
its bad because you are only getting married to make it look like a picture perfect family. you should only marry if you truly do love that person :]
cripes, this aint the 19th century anymore.. if the guy is a piece of crap then the answer is no
the baby should not be an excuse to get married
I don't see why they should. Marriage is such a waste of time
