Yes.
Pregnant and not married? You were shamed and hidden away. Cross-cultural or cross-religious romance? Nope. My dh's paternal grandmother was shunned by her entire family because she married a Roman Catholic (her family was Lutheran). Forget marrying outside of your race. You were untouchable if you did that.
Yet I am so, so, so thankful that I have not had to live through a war like WW2.
