What happens if a Muslim teenager falls pregnant?
It is considered disgraceful to her and the family if this happens outside of marriage, because of the sinfulness of this. But the child must not be aborted and teenagers should try to avoid situations that can lead to this. The punishment for fornication is not given, as there is no proof of sexual intercourse, and as it is possible to get pregnant from contact with seminal fluid from a non-sexual source. As for the child, this should be bought up the same as any child, as any fault is on the parents and not the child.
