Talk:Shotgun wedding

OK, Perhaps this article is not a Crime Stub. What Stub Category best fits? History stub? Perhaps they were more common in the past. Feminism stub? no comment. Sex stub? no comment. Religion stub? Festival stub? Nothing seems to fit. Revert to stub seems best Wendell 03:20, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

FESTIVAL stub? I do not think that label is accurate, yet it appeared in the actual article. I've accordingly changed it to culture which seems to me to fit best. —Casey J. Morris

Many countries, that is a bit vague, can anybody give some specific examples? Sander123 12:01, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Murphy brown?

The murphy brown reference seems a bit out of place.. if anywhere it should be in the culture references section, but my preference would be to remove it entirely. Mleinart 16:29, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It really sticks out. It might have a place in an article about illegitimacy, but it's awkward here.24.131.12.228 21:49, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

disambiguation

There should be a disambiguation page for shotgun wedding, as there is also a band called Shotgun Wedding. JanderVK

Trivia section removed

I removed the trivia section without integration the deleted material because I don't see it as remotely relevant. A list of songs that included the phrase "shotgun wedding" and movies/shows that had shotgun wedding scenes? Come on. Wikipedia is not a random collection of information.

Ensuring fertility

Although it was harder to get a divorce for women, in societies where children were important in a relationship, a woman could be divorced for infertility. A shotgun wedding's main purpose was to ensure the mother and child had a provider. perhaps that should be changed. Rds865 (talk) 18:49, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
