It would allow an unmarried pregnant couple to go to their State website, answer a few questions like are you female and male, pregnant and unmarried, age, etc. Pay a small State set fee, then they click print and out comes a marriage license, marriage certificate, and a divorce decree simultanteously! With these legal documents, their child will be born legitimately, and not a bastard or illegitimate. Nothing changes for the pregnant couple except their childs legacy. They can continue to plan the wedding or fight with their inlaws about what's preventing them from marrying, e.g., not enough time in 9-months to plan a wedding, can't pick a wedding dress, don't have the money for a ring, grandmother hates my bf, etc. This innocent kid will not be born illegitimate or out-of-wedlock.

it's fine... i think that peoplel who wouldn't like it are people who have two legit married parents and don't understand what it's like to be a bastard

There are many legal implications of being married so your statement that the only thing different is the "legitimacy" of the child is incorrect.
Also, if you get married and divorced before the child is born, the child won't be born to the marriage anyway.
Bottom line - dumb idea.

This is INSANE!!!! No way.....marriage is a commitment and this seems to just act like marriage is something extremely easy that ANYONE can do! It's not like that brother! Marriage is wonderful, but hard! How dare they! People are "ALWAYS" just looking for the easy way out!

there are no illegitimate children - only illegitimate parents.
a website like this onle underscores that people place style over substance, and it doesn't change the fact that the kid is more likely going to have problems in life that he wouldn't have had if he had responsible parents.

Why not just mail the state some extra money for creative innovation? sounds to me like a bad idea. As if marriage wasn't already losing its meaningfulness.
