In many cultures, impregnating a woman outside of wedlock is considered a grievous offense. It puts her in a very difficult position in more ways than one, and it is all too common for the father to skip out rather than remain behind to be a part of the baby's future. In this case the man accepts responsibility, indicating his intention to marry the girl and do his best to provide a stable environment for her and the child. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })You will very rarely see this played straight. Common variants include meaning something completely different when offering to take responsibility, offering marriage for minor offenses like an Accidental Kiss, or simply the term coming up due to something unrelated, and being mistaken out of context. When this is forced onto a character, it's a Shotgun Wedding. See Give the Baby a Father for when it isn't the biological father who "takes responsibility." The pregnancy may cause the couple to hasten their preexisting plans to get married. |

Bojack Horseman: In the backstory, Princess Carolyn got pregnant as a teenager by the son of her mom's employer, and the boy agreed to marry her despite his well-off parents' reservations. Unfortunately, she suffered a miscarriage and the boyfriend's parents immediately cut her off. A similar thing happened with BoJack's parents, with his heiress mother getting pregnant after a one-night-stand with his drifter father. This proved to be a huge mistake which torpedoed all of their plans and left them both deeply unhappy for life, seriously screwing up their son in the process. |

A frequent topic on Maury is the Daddy DNA Test. Often the man under investigation says that if he is the father he'll take on fatherly responsibilities - usually just before they announce that he is not the father. | |

On The Simpsons, Homer marries Marge when they find out she's pregnant with Bart. His father urged him to do so, but did not force them to get married, and neither did Marge's parents (who would, in fact, have preferred she marry literally anyone but Homer). They get married in a small wedding chapel across state lines (called "Shotgun Pete's), affiliated with a casino. Homer felt bad that he couldn't provide her with a nicer wedding, but Marge was happy to marry him. | |

In the first Paramedium game, the unnamed boy who got Mrs Clansey's daughter pregnant said that he'd be happy to come back and marry her. He never did, and the daughter's ghost is distraught about it. It's possible that the disapproving Mrs Clansey got rid of him — as she tries with Lance, whom she deliriously mistakes for him. | |

In Bakemonogatari, the protagonist Koyomi Araragi visits his lesbian underclassman, Kanbaru Suruga, while she's lounging naked in her room. At first, she doesn't make an effort to change or cover herself, and Araragi (jokingly) offers to take responsibility for viewing her in this state by marrying her. She says that while his offer is very attractive, she doesn't want his Clingy Jealous Girlfriend to murder her. | |

This is a driving force in the plot of the TV movie “Revenge Of The Bridesmaids”. Abigail and Parker are all geared up to trash the wedding of their frenemy Kaitlyn for stealing their BFF’s true love for herself for his money, until they find out that he’s only marrying her because he got her pregnant, and therefore, for the greater good, the wedding must go on. As it turns out, she’s actually only pretending to be pregnant so that the boy will have no choice but to marry her to give her “baby” a father. What she plans to do after the wedding, whether fake a miscarriage or steal a baby, is unknown. | |

Silver Spoon Due to Hachiken getting too friendly with the pigs who are going to be slaughtered for meat, they're getting too used to humans. One of the students, Yoshino, gets mad at him, and demands he make it up to her if she can't eat pork after this. Hachiken promises to "take responsibility"...which is the point when Tokiwa wanders by. The rumor that Hachiken got Yoshino pregnant spreads around the school, and of course those two only find out when they get dragged into the teacher's office, and everything is made clear. When Mikage tells her parents that she wants to get into an illustrious horse college despite her poor grades, Hachiken tells her family he'll take responsibility if she fails. While her mother and grandmother are ecstatic about the idea (and her father tries to throw a table at him), what he was trying to say is that he's planning to tutor her, so it will be his fault if she fails. |

Nate correctly figures it meant she was pregnant, producing a legal heir, who is actually the girl heading the charity he was going to leave his fortune to when he died. | |
