Anyone Pregnant before marriage

[SummerHarvest]

I need a little information. I need to know if a couple gets pregnant outside of marriage does the bible say they should get married. I thought it did, but if it does I just can't seem to find it. Infact I thought it said if they have relations then they are suppose to get married. thanks

This may be the Scripture:

Deu 22:28 ¶ If a man find a damsel [that is] a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

Fornication becomes the basis for the marriage, not pregnancy.

I do not think that principle necessarily applies in this "dispensation." We would not insist on our daughters marrying a rapist, nor a serial seducer. Such a marriage is likely to proceed to divorce, & the end becomes worse than the beginning.

Also it may result in a Christian marrying a non-christian.

I have to agree with Ebenezer on this one. I see no biblical mandate requiring marriage because of a sinful act.
