...say, you know, two people having sex out of wedlock...but how do "they" feel about a woman who's given up on finding Mr. Right, and gets artificially inseminated?
I'm not personally in that situation, I've just always wondered.

I had a conversation a few years ago with my niece on this very subject. I will tell you the same thing I told her. If you have never had children, you have no idea what patience, determination, strength, and energy parenting can take. This is to say nothing of the financial concerns.
Children deserve two parents. There is a reason God planned it this way. They need a father and a mother. There are certain strengths which each gender can provide which are completely lacking in the other. Yes, it is possible to succeed as a single parent.... It is more that twice as difficult, however.
If you are determined to parent a child on your own, I would suggest adoption rather than artificial insemination. You will be able to completely prepare for the child and will be able to "hit the ground running" in good physical health and complete strength, when the baby is born. You will need all the physical strength you can muster in the early months, because you will be sleepless on a regular basis, I can promise you that.
Adoption would also give you the opportunity to provide a home for a child who might otherwise never have that blessing.
God bless you as you make this monumental decision. ><>♥<><

I thought a second about the way you worded that. The people who I know don't 'frown on children' much at all, unless they misbehave. I know you were using a rather colloquial phrase, but I just was thinking and maybe we need to change that. Or at least I do. If a child knew that he or she was 'born out of wedlock', they might misunderstand. (I was orphaned and adopted, so I heard things I didn't understand as well. )
Generally, the typical Christian thinks that a child is better off with a stable household, with a man for a dad, and a woman for a mother. That's what they think. I think that a child is needing love, and a parent that is obvious but not smothering about it.

i can strongly comment - i do not know ANY religion that frowns upon the child born out of wedlock. while the parents may have things to asnwer too - the child does not - s/he did not ask this of them and God granted them a child - whether to keep or give up for adoption.
in the Rcc atrificial insemination is looked as (simple but) as playing God. personally, as a woman who has yet to have a child - my thoughts turn to adoption versus artificial menas. there are SO many children out in the country and others that are in need of homes.

Artificial insemination is frowned on as much as out-of-wedlock sex in my faith tradition.
For the lady who has given up on finding Mr. Right, there are other options, including adoption, foster parenting, spending her off-work hours volunteering for one of numerous available charities, etc.

As far as I know there is no clear answer on that in the Bible. The only problem I have with artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization specifically is that more embryos are created than are used. Then these children are thrown away.

Dear Except this above quotation what else you know about Mutah Marriage???? You know conditions of Mutah? you know rulings & obligatory acts of mutah? what do you think about Zina??? have you ever condemn Zina like mutah in our societies, which is off course more than mutah now a days in every muslims society? Have you ever comdemn paper marriages in western societies?Do you agree that within a society there are always some individuals who cannot afford permanent marriage either financially or other reason? Actually one of writer has quoted well that your intention is to create fitna & shake already crippled muslims unity.There are lot of conditions , pre-requisites & rulings for a single Mutah to take place. May all your efforts be towards peace & unity. Amen

There is nothing wrong with that. Though I would strongly suggest raising a child in a two parent home. Though I know many children who have been raised in a single parent home and turned out to be awesome adults.
Looks in the mirror. LoL

Children have the right to be born in bonds of matramony, with both a father and a mother.

It depends on which religion and which sect you ask. There's no such thing as "standard religion".

It is none of my business, or yours either.
I can't wait to see the Christian love here.
