I don't believe this is right or fair to the child and each person involved

definately not. people should get married because they love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. when you marry just for the sake of a child, the child is damaged in so many ways, one of the main ones being that they are learning about relationships from their parents and if their parents don't have a good relationship, then it will be hard for them to have one when they grow up.

I don't think so. People need to marry because they love each other, not because of a child.

it must not be main reason why a couple should get married. however, in most cases, the coming of a child gives them new perspectives and realizations, makes them think of the future more, and what they would really wanna do with their relationship, which usually ends up in marriage.

Absolutely not. A child is not a band aid that can hold two people together. People should only get married if they really love each other and want to be together anyway. No matter how much you love a child , it cannot make you love their other parent. Marriage is hard enough without going into it for the wrong reasons.
