Is Pregnancy Enough?


Akin and his girlfriend Adetola have been dating for about 3 months.They are both quite comfortable and have good jobs. Adetola visited Akin earlier this week and informed him that she was six weeks pregnant. Akin accepted the news in a cool manner and Adetola has told him that having an abortion is out of it. Adetola's parents invited Akin and asked him what his plan for their daughter is. He tells them he accepts full responsibility for the pregnancy and the baby after it is born. Her parents have asked him to consult with his family and come up with a quick date for a wedding.
Akin is not ready to get married and this he tells Adetola. Adetola has gone to Akin's mother to help persuade Akin to marry her. The mother is threatening fire and brimstone for Akin to get married, since he's not denying the paternity of the unborn child.
Now Akin is saying he accepts the child, but is not ready to get married.
He insists that being pregnant is not enough reason to get married, more so as he intends to take care of the child and not abandon it.

Dear readers, do you think Akin is right in refusing to get married now?
A lot of ladies get pregnant to trap men into marriage these days, is that an applaudable thing?
Do you think a marriage contracted because of pregnancy is a strong one which will stand firm in the midst of adversities?
Would you rather be a single un-married parent than a divorced one?
Is pregnancy enough reason to get married?

    pregnancy is more than enough reason why he should marry her. every child need both parents for a healthy social up bringing. a child should not be brought up to witness many men frequenting his mums' bedroom. a child learns the meaning of love from the affection displayed by both parents. societies with high rate of single parent and divorce witness the worst form of juvenile delinquencies. the woman also need the emotion comfort and pampering of the man during delivery. what is he scared of? is it the finance? or what responsibility is the man avoiding? these questions is meant to poke our conscience. if you cant marry a woman you impregnated, it simply shows that you are not human and that you are being abusive. no matter what your condition is, you should realize that your baby is growing in her womb and it is very discomforting and tasky.

    The development you stated whereby girls get pregnant to trap men into mariage isn't applaudable but rather appalling because it clearly shows the level of moral decadence in our society.

    It honestly shdnt be encouraged cos @ the end of the day the child brought forth by so doing would still blame the mother when told the story. Some parents encourage girls getting pregnant 4 their sons in other to trap him though
