Hi. I would like to ask if you can file a case regarding to your bf that makes you pregnant. Cos he dont want to give any financial support he is bahraini. One person told me u can file a case against him, but im not sure cos some people they say if u got pregnant without marriage u will go in jail and be deported.

Hi.. i am 12weeks pregnant rn. I visited n OB recently and had my ultrasound in a private hospital. Upon ultrasound they found irreguralities from my baby heartbeat. So the OB refer me to go visit public hospiital. My problem is me and my boyfriend is not married and he is also going to be deported back to his home country bcoz of visa problem. Now I am afraid to go to that public hospital coz they might report me to police and go to jail. Like until now I still cannot sleep and eat well. Well I am already planning to go back to my country. But i have to give my resignation to my company first. What am I goin to do? Are they going to put me to prison bcoz I am not married?

Prison is at delivery time.  The law applies when you give birth out of wedlock.........not when you are pregnant.  So you can always leave and give birth in your home country.

@XTang thank you.. appreciate.. i feel relieve now..

@XTang some say when u are pregnant it will get detected at the Bahrain Airport and they will get you jail? Is it true? Specially now that im planning to go back to my home country.

I guess you should read through the full thread, things are discussed in detail.

I am not sure why people keep asking the same question over and over again without bothering to read through the thread.  Everything has been answered or discussed before.


To keep it simple, it is illegal to give birth outside of wedlock.    However, legally, the crime is committed when you deliver, not before.   So my advice to everyone is to not be be stupid and use appropriate protection or if you can't do that and end up pregnant then just leave the country (before you cross 5-6 months as airlines won't let you travel after a certain time) and deliver elsewhere.......yes, i get that you have jobs, lives etc etc.......but nothing is worth ending up in jail for.


And yes, if you get legally married before you give birth (with attested marriage certificate), you are safe from jail and deportation but will have to go through a massive legal process to get the baby's birth certificate (as the pregnancy period will be lower than the minimum threshold allowed).
