- lapcat 4y ago> And this is framed as a negative? Yes, because it means there's very little freedom of choice. Would you say that "shotgun weddings" are a positive?
- zen_1 4y agoWith Korea's birth rate I doubt there are too many of those happening. And if it's down to a choice between shotgun weddings where both parents commit (whether by choice or social pressure) to raising their child or single parenthood, I'd say the former is definitely a positive for the child in question and for society as a whole.
