International desk: France is at the top of the European countries in giving birth to children out of wedlock. In the country, 60 out of 100 children are born to parents out of wedlock.

Procreation out of wedlock was considered immoral by early Germans. A mother alone is not enough to raise a child. They feel comfortable in raising children by sharing responsibilities between husband and wife.

Married people are given more importance than others to get jobs. If you have children, the government gives allowances besides importance. It is convenient to get a house. 2 years maternity leave is available. Which is not possible without marriage.
