In Bahrain, a pregnant woman must be married, according to the law. If you are pregnant and visit a doctor, it will be assumed that you are married. You may be asked for a marriage certificate (though we need confirmation of this). Be aware that, if you're found to be pregnant and unmarried, you may face legal repercussions. If you're a foreigner, you'll be imprisoned and/or deported. If you're pregnant and unmarried as a Bahraini, you could face possible imprisonment. Your partner may also be imprisoned or deported.<ref>[http://www.timeoutbahrain.com/knowledge/features/66531-know-your-rights-in-bahrain Know your rights in Bahrain]</ref> For these reasons, if you are pregnant and unmarried, it is highly advised that you do not seek out medical treatment or residency in Bahrain for the duration of your pregnancy. | |||
