Early Marriage- not a solution to early pregnancy

     Marriage has lost its true essence. It is no longer as sacred as it used to be. It now appears more like of an obligation rather than a vow.

     This is the case when the girl is already pregnant and her family hunts the guy down to marry her before he could have his chance to escape. Even if he is not willing or in denial if he is really the father of the child conceived by the girl, he is left with no choice but to be married with her. Things like these do happen especially in conservative countries like the Philippines where family’s honor is protected.

     Early marriage, in most cases, is the result of early pregnancy. Parents of the girl find it as a resort to ensure that the child of their daughter will have a father. However, they don’t seem to see that this would only result to another conflict.

     A mistake can never be corrected with another mistake; it will only make it worse. Early marriage as a cover up for the shame caused by early pregnancy is in my opinion an absurd idea. Marriage like this will do no good and only make the life of the girl and also of the guy stagnant. Since they are still young, they will find it hard to run a family. They will be occupied with financial problems and difficulty in adjusting with each other’s personality. One consequence also is that they will be stopped from schooling and later on find it hard to find a job that can sustain their needs. Most likely, early marriage will result to a miserable family.

     To make things not so complicated, conflicts brought about by early pregnancy should be settled through legal ways. The family of both the guy and the girl should have an agreement (through legal papers) regarding about the support the guy should endow to the girl as the father of the child and the custody of the child the moment the child is born. This way the guy and the girl no longer need to be married. It also assures girl that the guy can’t just abandoned his responsibility and that he is obliged to give financial support as they have agreed upon. In this way also the girl and the guy’s freedom to do the things they want to do as separate individuals will be restored.

    Marriage can be so very complicated especially when you are not prepared and matured enough for it .It is matrimony in basis of love and not on obligation, thus, early marriage because of early pregnancy will not ever work out.
