Mandatory Motherhood	comment	We have a character who, while fertile, very much does not want children. But society, or the law, or destiny, will not let her get away with that easily. Maybe there's a problem in the Heir Club for Men and she doesn't want to be involved but, since she's married to the fella needing the heir, she can't readily escape it. Or perhaps she herself is a powerful leader who needs to give birth to a successor lest chaos follow her death. Or she's in a society that's gone through a Societal Disruption, which is urging every fertile woman to repopulate the species; but she has desires or concerns more important to her than the species. Maybe she's been prophesied to be the mother of the Chosen One or a Messianic Archetype, but she wants to Screw Destiny anyway. Or she's prophesied to be the mother of The End of the World as We Know It and is desperate to Screw Destiny. Maybe having babies is considered a civic duty, like a man's serving in warfare. Or perhaps she's part of a Breeding Cult, and bearing as many children as possible is considered her divinely-ordained role. Or maybe she's already pregnant with the kid she adamantly doesn't want but has had abortion forbidden to her for legal, moral or health reasons. Whatever. She would rather not have children, but the law or the universe is doing its best to stop her, demanding she has children or else. (There must be a serious "or else" involved.) The law and the universe generally win these fights, but it still can be interesting to watch it go down. Also, despite the name, this trope is not limited to female characters; male characters may also be coerced into fatherhood. Sometimes if they end up having children, merely seeing the kid makes them realize the "error" in their beliefs. Contrast Convenient Miscarriage and Tragic Stillbirth, which is, of course, are on the opposite end of the Law of Inverse Fertility. If the character is merely experiencing social pressure to have children but can still say no, she's on the receiving end of Not Wanting Kids Is Weird. Sub-Trope of Chosen Conception Partner. Frequently overlaps with Baby Factory.

Mandatory Motherhood / int_16aa3232	comment	Gabrielle Solis from Desperate Housewives openly refused to have children for several seasons, then struggled with the idea and couldn't conceive, but finally gave birth to Juanita and later Celia between seasons. From that point all the leading characters of the show are moms. An earlier example is Lynnette, who made very clear to her husband Tom that she did not want any children. The first time we meet her she has four kids. In the last season, Julie becomes pregnant and faces an incredible pressure from her family to keep and raise the baby, even when she's been very clear since the beginning that she plans to give the baby up for adoption.

Mandatory Motherhood / int_16ad3d97	comment	The Lovers has a similar situation for the population of the Haijac Union, though without artificial insemination and with both men and women trained from birth to not take any pleasure in sex (though they're also supposed to love their "daily duty") and the marriage arranged by the local gapt (whose role is a mix of priest and political commissar). It's openly stated that the only legally valid reasons for divorce, and thus not having children, are space travel (because the man would spend years or decades under cryogenic sleep and the age difference would become too great) and sterility... And the latter carries the risk of execution for the sterile one, as they'd be blamed for their "unreal thinking" making them sterile.

As a teen, he showed no interest in courting any of the women in his clan, so his family started trying to push him into courting one of the shaych men and adopting kids. His refusal to do that (because he'd already sensed the Mage Gift stirring, meaning he would have to leave the Clans) is called selfishness.

Mizore doesn't want to participate... at least, not with the guy her family picked for her (she makes it QUITE clear that she is willing to go through with this tradition using Tsukune instead).

It's a Lost Colony situation in which everyone has to breed, but Kris is involved in an Interspecies Romance and is apathetic on having kids (and definitely against cheating), even if her alien boyfriend doesn't mind.

She herself did not want kids but felt that she had to have them anyway. This was also why she lied and told everyone Georgia was infertile, cause to her that was the only 'acceptable' reason to avoid motherhood. In more minor examples, and overlapping with Heir Club for Men, Carleen and Weed are constantly pressured to have a kid, and Therese's father never spoke to her again after she had gotten a tubal, since that meant she could not give him the grandson he demanded.

Also means that they are forced to be a species of Absurdly Youthful Mothers. Although they don't specifically have to do this, as their species isn't any population danger at the moment. It just means that if a female Emaan wants to be a mother their window for doing so is very short.

Mandatory Motherhood / int_4bcaa9d6	comment	The Triptych Continuum side-story "Anchor Foal: A Romantic Cringe Comedy" plays with this. Because Fluttershy was essential to reforming Discord through her ability to sincerely befriend him, Celestia is naturally afraid that when Fluttershy dies, Discord will go back to his old ways, seeing as how he doesn't look like making any new friends of his own. So, she decides that for the good of Equestria, Fluttershy must have at least one foal, who will hopefully serve as an "anchor" to further tether Discord into staying reformed. The thing is, Fluttershy would probably like to have foals, it's just that she's too terminally shy to have a hope of getting them. So, Celestia enlists Fleur de Lis to go to Ponyville and, essentially, teach Fluttershy to pick up stallions. Or mares, if her tastes run that way; a magical spell that enables female/female Homosexual Reproduction is a canon element of this 'verse.

She's generally got plenty of other sisters with whom to continue the bloodline. It's also considered nothing noteworthy if she finds small children annoying. Men, on the other hand, are rare and have to marry, are seriously looked down on if they turn out to be infertile, and are expected to do the softer sides of childrearing. A husband or brother who doesn't tend crying children is not well liked.

One boy and one girl each, no exceptions. And it's a massive Generation Xerox for classes depending on who the fathers are. Likewise, in Fire Emblem: Awakening all the females recruited in the first half (with the exception of Anna), and Cherche in the second half, if they fall in love and marry, will have one child in the future, possibly two if they marry Chrom or the Avatar. And in Chrom's case, it's Mandatory Fatherhood (with him moreso, in fact, for plot reasons he has to marry by a certain chapter in order for him to father Lucina, and if none of his prospective brides are available he'll marry a nameless NPC). However, in Fire Emblem Fates, the only one who has Mandatory Motherhood is Azura (and female Corrin), otherwise, it's Mandatory Fatherhood.

The Quarian Flotilla will occasionally be put into a state of overpopulation so they have incentives to have fewer children, and when they are underpopulated they will start giving things like tax breaks and other rewards to people who have multiple children. Fewer births are the norm though.

He saysnote 1 Timothy 3:5 that a man is not fit to run a church unless (among other traits) he first has experience running a family. The contradiction is possibly due to the fact that the epistle in question was written by someone else in the following century and attributed to Paul. Alternatively, it could be seen as an instruction that, while singlehood is fine for lay members of the congregation, marriage and fatherhood is mandatory for one who wants a position of authority.

But we learn in the first installment that she was at one point miserably pregnant with a baby she continually wished would just go away. When she finally bore the stillborn child, her husband was devastated and she became wracked with guilt that it was her fault it had died. To this day, she still dislikes hearing or saying the name Gabriel, the name her husband wanted to give the boy.

It's treated like Arranged Marriage at best and flat-out rape at worst. While it is possible for a Black Fury to reach a leadership position without having borne at least one child, few will take such seriously without a high-Glory Battle Scar to explain the lack of a working womb.

Mandatory Motherhood / int_9bb59653	comment	The Blacklist has a particularly twisted and horrifying example — all of the children offered by the Cyprus Adoption Agency — which specialises in offering genetically "ideal" infants to wealthy clients- are actually bred by dozens of abducted women (who fit various genetic profiles), held captive and unconscious at a fertility clinic while impregnated via artificial insemination; they are kept drugged throughout the entire pregnancy, through childbirth and beyond until it comes round to their turn again. The head of the adoption agency is the father of every single child, who wants to leave a "legacy", though the other members do it for profit (and possibly fear). In this case, it's not that they don't want the child — at least one does (who wakes up by accident, escapes, and is murdered), its that they don't even know they are mothers in the first place.

Most don't have much problem with it; a Rare Male Example to the contrary is Tyrion, who has a great deal of pressure put on him by his father to impregnate his new Stark bride, Sansa, so as to solidify the Lannister claim on the North. It's not so much the prospect of fatherhood per se that puts Tyrion off, but the fact that he would more or less need to rape his wife to get there. "When do you suppose she will be more fertile," he quips bitterly, "before or after we tell her that we had her brother killed?"

Mandatory Motherhood / int_a5549ed0	comment	In The Bible, mankind is ordered to "be fruitful and multiply," which has traditionally been seen as a command to have children if at all possible. The Patriarchs and Matriarchs, for example, went through a lot knowing that God's plans relied on them producing the Jewish people, as did Moses' parents in the wake of Pharaoh's decree. Onan was killed by God for refusing to have a child with Tamar, his dead brother's wife, as per the laws of levirate marriage (in short, he was required to marry his brother's wife and their first son would be his brother's, to continue on his brother's family line). Of course, he told her he would (thus avoiding public shaming and being cast out of his family) and then performed coitus interruptus to prevent it.note However, many misinterpreted the text to mean that Onan preferred masturbating over actual sex, and in some cultures and languages, including Hebrew, his name has become the basis for the modern word for "masturbation". It should be noted that, under OT law, while there is Mandatory Fatherhood, there is no Mandatory Motherhood; a man is obligated to marry and produce children if he can, but a woman is free not to marry, or, by extension, have children. However, there were two very good reasons to have children. Having children was a mark of prestige, and secondly, your children were supposed to take care of you in your old age. If you hadn't had children, you would've been out of luck in your golden years. In Deuteronomy 25:5-6, if a woman's husband dies without leaving her any child, and if the husband has an unmarried brother living nearby, then the brother must marry the widow and father a child through her so that her dead husband's name would not be blotted out from Israel with the first child (ideally a son) that is sired. (In the Book of Ruth, this law extends to even the husband's living male relatives from his own family line.) If the husband's brother refuses to marry her, verses 7 to 10 says that he must be brought before the elders of the city, and if he still declares that he isn't going to marry her, then the widow may pull off his sandal, spit in his face, and say, â€œSo shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brotherâ€™s house.â€� And that man's house from then on will be referred to as "the house of the unsandaled man." And then Paul, writing in the New Testament, subverted the blazes out of it by sayingnote I Cor. 7, mostly the second half it was fine for men and women not to marry, or marry, as they chose (though if "not", they were to abstain from sex). This could be because he expected the world to end within the next few decades ("time is short"), making populating the earth pointless; another interpretation (since the world didn't end) is that he was predicting the future persecution that the church would face at the hands of Rome, and an I Have Your Wife situation could make it that much more difficult for a person to choose to be a faithful martyr rather than to forsake Christianity. A third theory is that he is simply supporting other early Christians who chose celibacy as an act of devotion. While the above was aimed at the Christian population in general, Paul plays it straight later on in his writings to Timothy. He saysnote 1 Timothy 3:5 that a man is not fit to run a church unless (among other traits) he first has experience running a family. The contradiction is possibly due to the fact that the epistle in question was written by someone else in the following century and attributed to Paul. Alternatively, it could be seen as an instruction that, while singlehood is fine for lay members of the congregation, marriage and fatherhood is mandatory for one who wants a position of authority. Some sects of the Abrahamic religions view it as their moral duty to have as many children as possible to provide endless soldiers for God. This was at least part of the reason that Old Testament Israel was known for having many children: the bloodline had to continue in order for God's promise to Abraham that the Savior of the world would be born from his seed to be fulfilled. The flip side of this is that, since Christianity is based solely on one's belief and not on one's parentage, most modern denominations of Christianity are much more lax and only subject to the same Not Wanting Kids Is Weird feelings of their culture at large, rather than insisting that all members bear children (though of course there are a couple like that; Christian denominations are diverse, and drawing generalizations about 2.4 billion people can get dicey). In the Book of Genesis, Sarah gives her maidservant Hagar permission to sleep with Abraham and bear children on her behalf. That seems like a somewhat strange thing to do from the viewpoint of modern audiences, but she did it because she'd been infertile for many years and was approaching (or possibly going through) menopause. The Code of Hammurabi stated that if a wife could not bear children, she was to get one of her slaves to do it for her, as the primary purpose of marriage back then wasn't so much love and companionship as producing a legitimate heir, strengthening sociopolitical alliances, economic reasons, etc. She was just doing her duty under that code.

In Catching Fire she is horrified when she realizes that President Snow is likely to insist that she and Peeta have children and that those children will probably end up in the Games due to rigged reapings. She finds it especially wretched since whether to marry or not and to have children or not is one of the few genuine freedoms people in the districts normally have. It is implied that Peeta shares this fear as well, though once there are no more Hunger Games he really wants to have kids. In Mockingjay she does eventually become a mother of her own free will. Though it takes a war that overthrows the government and ends the Games and even with that it still takes fifteen years of Peeta wanting children badly before she agrees.

As a result, cats are encouraged to breed in order to make sure there's always enough warriors in the Clans. In one book, Bluestar's Prophecy, the title character is good with kits and raises her nephew after her sister's death but has no interest in having any of her own, Although it doesn't work out this way in the end. Naturally one of the Clan elders tells her she needs to "live her own life" now that her sister's son is grown. Because in order to live your own life, you have to have and raise children.

Mandatory Motherhood / int_ded75484	comment	In Deuteronomy 25:5-6, if a woman's husband dies without leaving her any child, and if the husband has an unmarried brother living nearby, then the brother must marry the widow and father a child through her so that her dead husband's name would not be blotted out from Israel with the first child (ideally a son) that is sired. (In the Book of Ruth, this law extends to even the husband's living male relatives from his own family line.) If the husband's brother refuses to marry her, verses 7 to 10 says that he must be brought before the elders of the city, and if he still declares that he isn't going to marry her, then the widow may pull off his sandal, spit in his face, and say, â€œSo shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brotherâ€™s house.â€� And that man's house from then on will be referred to as "the house of the unsandaled man."

Mandatory Motherhood / int_e2ade9fb	comment	In the Book of Genesis, Sarah gives her maidservant Hagar permission to sleep with Abraham and bear children on her behalf. That seems like a somewhat strange thing to do from the viewpoint of modern audiences, but she did it because she'd been infertile for many years and was approaching (or possibly going through) menopause. The Code of Hammurabi stated that if a wife could not bear children, she was to get one of her slaves to do it for her, as the primary purpose of marriage back then wasn't so much love and companionship as producing a legitimate heir, strengthening sociopolitical alliances, economic reasons, etc. She was just doing her duty under that code.

Mandatory Motherhood / int_e64b0d38	comment	In Elfen Lied, Lucy, being the "queen bee" of the Diclonius race, is the only one capable of actually birthing fertile Diclonii if she reproduces, as opposed to the sterile Silphelit drones that all Diclonii can create. The Big Bad fully intends to use her to bring about the rise of their species. Lucy, however, ultimately decides that she has no interest in that and that she'd much rather see her species wiped out. Being Lucy, she succeeds. Likely adding to her distaste for this role is the fact that the Big Bad's chosen partner for her is her own half-brother, the product of the villain capturing and raping Lucy's long-lost mother, who it is also revealed, was against Lucy's father abandoning her, and never stopped looking for her. To sum up his offer - her as an incestuous birthing machine in the plans of a lunatic who invaded her home, got the boy she loves shot, and raped her mother to the point she ended her life- and all on a mistaken basis. Yeah. In the field of pushing the thought, 'You Must Birth My Heirs', he really didn't sell this one well.

And in Chrom's case, it's Mandatory Fatherhood (with him moreso, in fact, for plot reasons he has to marry by a certain chapter in order for him to father Lucina, and if none of his prospective brides are available he'll marry a nameless NPC).

Mandatory Motherhood / int_ef6880c5	comment	Long Live the Queen: Enforced with nobility, all of whom are expected to have children to inherit their titles; most of them tend to have a lot of children as a result. The player character Elodie gets this in particular, since she's the crown princess. Even if she ends up with a female companion, she may either sleep with an unseen man or use her Lumen magic to impregnate herself. One of her aunt Lucille's plans to get her daughter Charlotte on the throne is to make Elodie infertile. Elodie's father Joslyn is a gender-inverted example; Elodie is his only child and she can't inherit his titles since she's the crown princess, so he's being pressured to remarry despite being rather averse to the idea. The player character can influence this, but generally he remains devoted to his late wife. It does help that he has several nieces and nephews to whom he could presumably leave his titles. Deconstructed with Adair's mother Cayleigh; she was pressured into marriage and motherhood at a young age due to the need for an heir to her titles, but passed away in childbirth. Some of her surviving family members got into nasty arguments over who was to blame for her death, and her son Adair has the potential to be assassinated halfway through the game since he's now the only heir left. Brin is a lesbian with no interest in men, but depending on the player character's choices, she can adopt her brother Banion's son or marry Elodie's father. If the player forces her to marry an Ixionite and passes the relevant skill check, Elodie will take her aside and explain that Brin needs an heir but doesn't necessarily need to stay married once she has one, which is enough to satisfy Brin (and keep her and her brother from being furious at you).

Mandatory Motherhood / int_efceef73	comment	Any straight couple that engages in "woohoo" in The Sims Medieval may produce a baby. Unlike in other Sims games, there is no way to prevent this. Supposedly this is a justified example since birth control hasn't been invented yet, but birth control was used at least since the Roman Empire was in powernote The Romans used the pods of the silphium plant as a natural contraceptive until they ate it into extinction..

Mandatory Motherhood / int_f163bd9f	comment	In ElfQuest, nature decides when two elves are ready to have a child, and the elves aren't allowed to protest. This turns into a mate or get really sick situation for several elves, most prominently Dewshine, who hates the mate that was chosen for her by destiny. But since Babies Make Everything Better, she loves her child regardless. This trope gets twisted later — nature seems to consider genetics and population when deciding which two elves are to reproduce. The Gliders, for example, have an inversion forced upon them: none of them had been able to conceive aside from Winnowill via magic in centuries, despite very much wanting to have children among them, due to locking themselves in a mountain fortress with limited space. The Go-Backs, on the other hand, have an amazingly short lifespan because of their warring with trolls and living in harsh conditions and breed like any other mammals; when the Wolfriders mention Recognition, Kahvi is surprised that they still bother with that. As with most things, the Wolfriders have the ideal balance, as they reproduce often enough to maintain a cycle of life and death, but still have Recognition and only breed genetically superior children. Except for Pike, who was his father's first attempt at Healer-induced conception outside of Recognition.

Due to three billion people dying in Second Impact, numerous countries implemented laws to loosen marriage conditions and discourage divorce to encourage family development and birthrates. Japan apparently never bothered to repeal them, due to being too busy trusting shadowy agencies to build giant robots to fight off alien monsters. Asuka angrily dubs Japan "the Las Vegas of Asia".
