Hasty Marriages or Hasty Conclusions?

Vinovskis, Maris A.; Chase-Lansdale, P. Lindsay

Public Interest, n90 p128-32 Win 1988

New studies demonstrate that many teen marriages are more resilient than had previously been believed; current policies promote single parenthood for teen mothers in the face of very little systemic information about young fathers and their potential for being providers, husbands, or parents. Marriage is a feasible option for many pregnant teenagers. (BJV)
