Not inevitable. Many married as a path to "respectability".
Even in other cases though, if the family were willing to allow the single mother to stay at home then they could stay at home. It would be a scandal, but not illegal. My father's best friend in childhood was the son of a single mother, in rural north Cork in the 1930s/1940s.
The father of the house would have to stand up for the mother and face off the church and the community. The man was the head of the family and what he said went. Didn't happen often but it did happen. I've nothing but respect for the rare few men who did this.Not inevitable. Many married as a path to "respectability".
