Wedding shotgun is a marriage arranged to avoid embarrassment because premarital sex may lead to unwanted pregnancies, rather than getting out of the participants' wishes. This phrase is an everyday American utterance, though it is also used in other parts of the world, based on the supposed scenario that the father of a pregnant bride should wear force, such as threatening a reluctant gun man, to ensure that she follows through marriage.

Rationale
One of the aims of such a marriage is to get a way out of a man for impregnation; another reason is to try to ensure that the child is raised by both parents. In some cases, such as in early America and in the Middle East, the ultimate goal is the restoration of social honor to the mother. This practice is a gap method for preventing the birth of illegitimate children, or if marriage happens early enough, to hide the fact that conception occurs before marriage. In some societies the stigma attached to extramarital pregnancies can be enormous, and coercive methods (apart from legal advocacy of undue influence) for obtaining assistance are often seen as prospective, and importantly, the "rights" of the father-in-law unconventional, coming from an age show for young fathers candidates. Often couples will organize marriage rifles without explicit impulse outside, and some religious teachings consider it a moral imperative to marry in that situation.

With culture
East Asia
- In Japan, the term slang Dekichatta kekkon ( ???????? ) , or Dekikon ( ???? ) for the short term, appeared in the late 1990s. This term can literally be translated as "oops-we-did-it-marriage," implying an unwanted pregnancy. Famous celebrities with this wedding include Namie Amuro, Y? Ko Oginome, Hitomi Furuya, Ami Suzuki, Kaori Iida, Tsuji Nozomi, Anna Tsuchiya, Meisa Kuroki, Leah Dizon, Melody Miyuki Ishikawa, Riisa Naka, Rie Miyazawa and Emi Takei. A quarter of all Japanese brides are pregnant at the time of their marriage, according to the Department of Labor and Health Welfare, and pregnancy is one of the most common motivations for marriage. The prevalence and celebrity profile of dekichatta-kon has inspired the Japanese wedding industry to introduce a more benign phrase, sazukari-kon (? ??? , blessed marriage) .
- In China, the term ???? (Pinyin: FÃÆ'¨ngz? Chà © ngh? N ; literally: "married to the order of the child") means that the couple married because the conception took place outside of marriage. This is a pun on the phrase ????, pronounced Fengzhichenghun and implies that marriage is approved by the imperial decree. This is becoming increasingly common among the younger Chinese. However, within the same age group, there are objections and criticisms of such practices.
- In Korea, the term slang ???? "Sokdowiban" (literally "speeding up the boundaries") refers to situations where pregnancy precedes marriage.
- In Vietnam, the term "BÃÆ'¡c s? b? o c ?? i" (literally meaning "because the doctor says so") is often used with cute intentions.
Europe
Since the sexual revolution began in the 1960s, the concepts of love, sexuality, procreation and marriage were separated after being tangled up for centuries.
- In Denmark, a 1963 study found that 50% of all brides are pregnant.
- In the Netherlands and Belgium, the Dutch term moetje is a common euphemism for marriage resulting from unwanted pregnancies. This noun is formed from the imperative of the verb moeten ("must", "must") with the additional suffix -je , indicating small. Thus, it can be translated as "small necessity" or "little you have", that is, one must marry to avoid embarrassment due to unmarried birth.
Moetjes is a common occurrence in Belgium and the Netherlands until the first half of the 20th century. In the early 1960s, about a quarter of all marriages in the Netherlands were rifle weddings; However, in some areas, up to 90% of brides are pregnant. In the late 2000s, the practice became so scarce that the term began to wear out. According to 2013 by Centrum voor Leesonderzoek, the word moetje is recognized by 82.5% of the Netherlands and 43.1% of Flemish.
North America
- In the United States, the use of force or forced violent marriage is no longer common, although many anecdotal accounts and folk songs record examples of such coercion in America in the 18th and 19th centuries. This phenomenon becomes less common because of the stigma associated with illegitimate births has decreased and the number of such births has increased. Effective birth control and authorized abortion also result in fewer unplanned pregnancies for a certain period of time. Nevertheless marriage that occurs when the bride is pregnant, even when no family or social pressure is involved, is still sometimes referred to as a "wedding rifle".
