Generally people that were 'caught', did get marched up the aisle. As long as one wasn't already married. Otherwise the girl would be sent off to some Dickensian home for unmarried mothers.
I wonder how many people who were forced to marry, spent miserably unhappy lives, tied to people they had nothing in common with, other than having shared a youthful tryst, that resulted in a pregnancy?
