The United States is a federal country with a presidential system of political power, a political system that combines separation of powers and checks and balances, and a two-party political party system. Regarding the laws regarding premarital birth, each state has different regulations, but unmarried birth is a relatively common phenomenon in the United States. According to the Associated Press report:
American society has long regarded having children before marriage as the preserve of “teenage mothers.” However, the latest survey report shows that the pregnancy rate of American girls aged 10 to 17 years is stable but declining. Most women who give birth before marriage are over 20 years old.
Except for the decline in the premarital birth rate among women aged 10 to 17, the premarital birth rate in other age groups has increased.
The rate of premarital births is increasing among all racial groups in the United States, with Hispanics at the highest rate.
Generally speaking, Americans’ views on marriage are gradually changing, and they are gradually ignoring marriage. More and more people accept cohabitation before marriage and having children before marriage; having children before marriage is no longer considered a This is a shameful thing.
