With all that teenage/unplanned pregnancies that we hear/read about these days…has the desi mindset on this topic changed at all?

Does the typical “log kya kahengay!!!” fear still live on?

Do you find that the old “you must get married and legitimize this baby” stipulation has been relaxed at all?

If your friend came to you and explained that he/she was in this situation, what advice would you give them?

Get married?
Abort the pregnancy?
Have the baby but don’t get married unless you guys are truly committed to each other?

“All the teenage unplanned pregnancies ?” Where? Who? When? Am I missing something. I have about 50+ cousins and none of them had a teenage pregnancy. I wonder why you are portraying such exceptions as a norm? Do you have a hidden agenda?
