Your position is absurd on several counts.

Start with the notion that any woman is obligated, somehow, to marry the father of their child.

This is FALSE and even the most devout supporters of the Tribunal process realize that “shot gun marriages” have always been grounds for annulment after the fact.

Generally speaking, I believe a man has the obligation to marry a woman if he gets her pregnant. I understand there are circumstances in which this would be inadvisable or even impossible, but for the pope to specifically request a couple with the arrangement in question in scandalous, because to many observers, it smacks of implicit approval of irregular situations that should, in fact, be strongly discouraged.

No the mother does not have to marry the father of her child, she can be a bitch.
