More than half of all British babies 'are born out of marriage' |
The men are as guilty as the women. For shame!

More than half of all British babies 'are born out of marriage'
More than half the babies born to British mothers this year will have been
born out of marriage, shocking new figures have revealed.
The statistics are a result of the fact that marriage among Britons has
slumped to its lowest levels since records began, according to new figures
released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
The figures show a steady decline in the number of Britons begin married
since the 19070s when fewer than one in 10 children were born out of
wedlock.
In the 1950s it was as low as just one in 20.
The overall figures for the UK are expected to pass the the halfway mark by
2012 but this is because the large number of immigrant births mask the true
figure.
Nearly all births to Pakistani women and 80 per cent to Indian families are
within marriage.
Once these figures are disregarded, the true state of British marriages is
laid bare.
The ONS figures are a projection by the Spectator magazine based on last
year's statistics with the official numbers due to be announced next May.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Iain Duncan Smith, the former Conservative leader
said:
"We should not be surprised because for the last 20 years or more the state
has connived with the metropolitan classes to tell everyone that the
structure of their family does not matter in bringing up children.
"The Government has progressively removed any support for marriage, and the
benefit system discriminates against couples who marry."
He added: "This is a significant social landmark but it is also a very
tragic story.
"People should recognise that what has happened has done more to damage the
prospects of children than at any time for more than 100 years."
The news comes on the back of ONS figures announced yesterday which
predicted the UK population could reach 71million by 2031, with migrants and
their UK-born children accounting for 69 per cent of that growth.

More than half of all British babies 'are born out of marriage'
What this fails to mention is how many babies are born outside a loving
stable relationship.
Why do couples need a piece of paper to have and bring up children?

Marriage stopped being relevant about the same time governments took away
tax benefits to being married.
Now it's only relevant to religious fundies.

What "guilt" are you talking about, J Young-the-virgin? Why do you
wish to impose your beliefs unto others, hypocrite *****?
So people don't marry... What business of yours is it?
And tell us, J Young, what do you know exactly about marriage, couple,
or even women?

Marriage is an artificial institution, invented by humans. No one is
obligated to enter into it if they don't want to, not for raising a
child or any other reason. It is it preferable if both parents are
there raising the child together, but marriage is unnecessary. If they
want to get married, fine. If not, also fine.
