Is it right to marry a pregnant woman?

A risky venture — Emmanuel Ojo, Graphic artist

My friend, please don’t try to do any such thing.
Yes, it is possible that the owner of this pregnancy in question may not be willing to accept it for now but danger lies ahead because the real owner of the pregnancy will surely come for it someday in the future.

I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with marrying a pregnant woman if she gives you her consent. But I’m looking at what the future holds for the man who decides to marry another man’s pregnancy. Don’t forget that the real owner of the pregnancy could make a comeback in future and the consequences,  you never really can tell because there’s every likelihood that the baby may not have an option than to go with his biological father, especially now that we have the DNA test at our finger tips. Even if the biological father did not come for this child, the child could go looking for him if he gets any signal that he’s living in a foreign land. So, I think it’s a very risky venture to go into.

A mistake with deadly consequences — Scott Robert, Actor

Look, any man who goes as far as marrying a pregnant woman is making a big mistake because it’s not only likely that the biological owner of the pregnancy will come back for his child but it’s a must that this child will someday look for his or her father.

Let me speak for myself and the truth is, if I impregnate any woman, even if she’s a cripple, I’ll marry her because I can’t imagine my own blood in a foreign land. So, I won’t give any man that opportunity of wanting to own my child for any reason. For those guys who shy away from their responsibility, I think something is wrong with them somehow. Sometimes, I ask myself why would any man deny his pregnancy and allow the woman to suffer alone? If you think you’re not old enough to father a child, then you’re not man enough to take a woman to bed or where have all the condoms in Naija gone to?

There’s something I want to let you know and that is that even the young man who refused to take responsibility of a particular woman whom he had impregnated will surely come back for his child in future. Any man who decides to marry a pregnant woman will only succeed if the real owner of the pregnancy never got to know about it. Even if you have to marry a pregnant little girl because you don’t have a child, you should allow her put to bed and marry her later. Don’t marry another man’s blood. I advise you because if you do, you’ll surely face the consequences.

My child is not for sale — Guy P, Musician

My dear, whether I denied the pregnancy or not,    I’ll not allow another man to take custody of my child. Once I’m able to identify the whereabouts of this child, I must recover him or her because he or she is my blood and won’t live with a foreigner. Yes, I may have made the mistake of denying the pregnancy as a young man who wasn’t ready to settle down but that does not mean I’m interested in selling my child to any man.

I’ll do whatever I can to have my child back. Whether the people involved are wealthy, influential or not, they won’t intimidate me. Even if the child refuses to stay with me, I’ll still do my best to get him back.
