If the girl is pregnant is it really necessary for them to get married? The girl is graduating her nursing course and the guy is a college drop-out. they have been together for 8 months nd the girl is four months pregnant.. I don't know what to tell the girl since she's convinced of getting married because she's afraid not to grduate out of wedlock.. is she making the right decision?

yeah...those "lets get married for the child" things never work out. I'm speaking from every experience i've seen like that including my parents, my parents friends, family, and friends. This girl should save herself a lot of heartache and hassle and money and just focus on making herself stable for the child thats coming into the world.

If you want to get married then get married but in todays day and age if your not in love and plan to stay together for the rest of your life then there is no point. You don'thave to be married for the guy to be the father rigth;-)
I don't understand why she can't graduate if she is not married, that doesn't have anyhting to do with her boyfriend or the baby.

i know. thats her primary reason. i told her that she could make arrangement with the school because that rule is pathetic. i know the school is considerate about that since what she would be entering is a lifetime commitment. I just wish that tables would turn and she'd come to her senses. She's still 20 and too young to weigh things especially on her situation.

No no no. that is such a big mistake. When young girls get pregnant they feel like it is the right thing to do because everyone has always said that. But most of the time it will not last and then it is harder then it would have been.

well, depends on the couple.. while usually most couple agree to marry while the woman is pregnant.. people also agree on the woman having an abortion.. although an abortion as yet would seem a very dangerous operation.. often risking the life of the mother too.. so.. probably marriage is best option

thanks for that.. i just want to know because we had been discouraging the girl to get married because the guy is not yet stable, regarding his job and schooling. what about the baby? we might not know that we re just dding up to her stresses. so might just go on if she wants to really get mrried.. THANKS for that lifetalk
