Well, in my country it is actually forbidden by the custom. But in my neighbourhood still there are some people who got pregnant before married, although it was considered wrong... What is it like in your own country? In your own custom? Is it considered wrong, or is it a right?

Now it is very common in our country. Fall in love, develop a relationship, live together and pregnant, then marry. I have no comments on this phenomenon, but I prefer to having kids after marriage.

Yes, I agree with you. Though it's common but I think the consequences are too hard to deal with. Moreover, it's also forbidden based on my religion :)

If we seek lasting happiness then we see values in age old traditions. Why the rule or the custom of sacramental marriage came into existence? It is to say that man is little more different than anumals. Man is not governed by his instinct but by reason and wisdom. And why to have sacramental marriage? It is to raise the dignity of man. To ensure safety, security and blessing from the elders. What is marriage after all? It is adjuring to remain faithful to one another. What if man has children before marriage? Can you assure lasting happiness buy such approach? Will the children receive total love from the parents? Will the couple happy for all the days of their life ? Animals are moved by instinct but man is by intellect and heart. You see the animals too consider the lions or even tigers too. Lion is the king of the forest. He is great. If a lioness will mate with someother lion than the first chosen one the lion will kill the lioness. So the greater is the race, nobler is the lifestyle.

Being pregnant before marriage is frown upon in a conservative Asian society and considered a taboo. But the world is changing and so are the views of people today. I think it has become an accepted trend now and no longer become the talk of the town as it was before.

In Canada, it's seen a lot more than it sure used to be. It's not really frowned upon here. Sure, some still don't like it, and do frown upon it, but I personally think that it's alright.

Hi! everything is changing now. women get older but no marriage, women get pregnant before marriage. But one thing is for sure. Don't let yourself get pregnant or else you'll face the consequence of having to raise your kid/s alone without a father (if left you) or raise your kid to a not so nice environment (everyone is quareling)I t is hard. My friends are experiencing that.

In my country there isn't a law regarding something like this! You can have kids outside of a marriage if you want to, it's fine with everybody. Of course, I'll guess anywhere you go in this world there will be people who will not agree of something like this, but at the end of the day, i am living my own life and not theirs! If I'm a responsible adult who is in a relationship which is worth it, if I can afford and provide for my kid, who are they to tell me that I need a piece of paper to have a baby??
