Would you tie the knot just for the reasons of being pregnant?

Never never never never. I absolutely do NOT agree with getting married just because someone got knocked up. That's just no reason to get married.

If I love the guy I will really be selfish to tie the knot even if he doesn't want to..hahah. Was only joking. On a serious note though, I will never push the guy to get married with me just because I am carrying his baby. I know it will never have a happy ending, the guy will just run after we get tied. He could even disappear on our wedding day! I don't really care much about what others will have to say that I am a single parents. there are so many single parents that have raised their kids alone and grew up perfectly well, responsible and civilized. So I won't really bother running around to get the father of my baby to wed me.

I don't think being pregnant is a good reason for marrying. Marriage is the hardest job anyone will ever have. I know people frown on people that don't marry just for tht reason but it's really noone's buisness but yours.

if it was a casual one night thing or nothing serious then no i wouldnt, but i was in a relationship and we were happy then yes i would. fortunatly i had 2 kids with my ex and never married which was a good thing as he ended up verbally and mentally abusing me for years then just as we split up he hit me twice while was pregnant with our second child.

just because???.......well,today after sometime not sleeping because of my girlfriend's belly rumbling did i start realising that UNwanted occurrences may develop,like a pregnancy!she came back from the clinic and said she was two weeks WITH IT ........it then came to me! she'll not get an abortion.i dont think i'll mind wow .....whoa

No, because maturity counts a lot in a relationship and so for an abrupt decision it may end up in separation or divorce.

Here in the States you can have babies Without being married and be married and never have children.Me? I never wanted either.But to answer your question I'll pretend. If I woke up pregnant and I wanted the child , I wouldn't marry the father Unless he Really Needed to be married. To me he can be a good father without marrying me. But if he thinks he Has to marry ,then we would marry.

Actually, many years ago, I did get married because of pregnancy, but we were far too young, and it ended, as our family predicted it would. Soon into the marriage we found that we were not really compatible and were really from "different worlds". I am not saying that it wouldn't work, but I have had some friends who are still together happily after many years. I think that we should think carefully before jumping into married life. _Derek

Being pregnant is always the one way ticket to marriage. Many people I know get married cause they got their girlfriends pregnant. Sometimes if things like this happen, there's no choice but to get married.

I always continued dating when in love, so sure. If pregnancy comes I think it's destiny, now be dating someone we love and do not use protection is just dumb, it's about it people should be more careful about, aside women that gets pregnant on purpose to grab the guy.

No. I would choose to become a single mother and endure everything rather than forcing the guy to marry me because of the child. I want to be married because I am loved, and the child is wanted. I still got my pride, and I don't want my child to grow up seeing a broken or miserable family.

No, because maturity counts a lot in a relationship and so for an abrupt decision it may end up in separation or divorce.

im guilty in some point =D i got married because i am pregnant, but(!) me and my husband are also in-love that time (and until now =) ). so we decided to get married so that our child will not be eligitimate. we both do it, so we both resolve it too. if the two parties are inlove, that reason is enough to get married. having a baby, i think, just gone too early =)

I don't think so. I think you should only marry because you want to and you're really sure of it. If you're not in love or you're iffy on it, most the time the marriage will not last. So doing it for the sake of a child is pointless. You're just going to be raising a kid in a stressful situation. If my child got pregnant I would not push them to marry the person. I would let them know there are many options whether it be my son or daughter. Just because they don't marry doesn't mean they can't raise their child properly.

No. It sometimes works out but if that's the only reason for being together that's not good. If I felt that the person I was with wasn't going to be a good match for me for the rest of my life despite getting pregnant by them I wouldn't marry them. My cousin married his girlfriend because she got pregnant and 10 years later they are divorced. That was pretty much the only reason he married her. He could have saved years of heartbreak and thousands of dollars in lawyer fees (it's turning out to be a nasty divorce and custody battle).

Hi. hexebella. I think that two people should get married if the woman is pregnant. I also believe that these two people should love each other at the same time too. No love, by getting married, will somehow fail sooner or later.

no. i have to know if the pregnancy was borne out of love first.

I would not get married just becuse i was pregnant. This wouldn't be fair to me, my partner or my unborn child. I would marry someone because i loved them and wanted a future with them. Any other reason would be unsatisfying somewhwere along the line.

In our county this would definitly become a culture shock for you. Here in the states you'll find a women with kids out of weddlock just about anywhere. I work with a few myself. As for me it is still looked down upon. But I would have to say that I wouldn't force marriage just because you are preganant. A lot of pergancies happen from accidents. So they are having accidental babies. In cases like this, neither of the parties involved are looking to get married. Depending on the situations I'm for and against it.

i don't think so if a girl get pregnant should get married, but the boy should at least take responsibility of the child.
