What country is best for a woman to get married and have children?

Japan actually isn't so bad here.

A lot of people have pointed out the decline in marriages and birth rates, but that's due to economical reasons to my best estimate. I have a lot of working class friends who have had girlfriends for years and the thing is that Japanese generally don't marry until they can afford a proper home in a family-friendly neighborhood. Wealthier Japanese don't suffer that problem.

Like Japanese typically aren't going to get married if they're living and working in a place like Roppongi or Shinjuku; they instead work for years to save up money to live somewhere less urban, more suburban, and with good schools for children. Some end up never reaching that goal, unfortunately, but having children out of wedlock is virtually non-existent among Japanese. They'll practically always gets married before having children or, in the worst-case scenario, have "shotgun marriages" where a Japanese man will immediately marry a woman if she becomes pregnant outside of marriage. And divorce rates are very low; I've heard among the lowest for developed nations.

We also lack any kind of Abrahamic religious background, so Japanese don't care about virginity and body counts and so forth despite strongly valuing marriage and family. That may be a pro to some and a con to others, but a Japanese man generally won't judge a woman negatively for having a sexual history.

As a caveat, there is no concept of alimony/spousal support in Japan, so that may pose concerns about financial security for women seeking to get married in Japan. Yet in exchange, even the most traditional Japanese husbands do not expect their wives to quit working and become full-time housewives. On the contrary, even the most traditional Japanese wife tended to work alongside the husband. Of course, if a woman aims to quit working after marriage and depend entirely on her husband that way, getting married in Japan might generally be a bad idea, but if a woman wants to continue working after marriage, even the most traditional of households is compatible with that.

Also some Japanese men have very traditional and sexist views of marriage, not with respect to their wives pursuing their own careers, but more traditions associated with husbands and wives. Yet those most traditional types never seek to marry non-Japanese. The ones who are interested in foreign women (as with Japanese women interested in foreign men) are generally far more open-minded and far less traditional.

Maybe Germany, with its gynocentric family courts and child support system, it's a great place if you become a single mom.

Norway or Finland.

Probably Romania and parts of Eastern Europe- Minus Belarus and Ukraine obviously, but the rest of Europe have very low birth rates and emerging crisis. Asia is a mixed bag. Japan and Korea are in danger of not being able to defend themselves from their hostile neighbors- big social issues too. Philippines is pretty good. Haven’t heard very much about Filipino men with foreign women though. America and Canada have a lot of problems and things are only going to get worse- socially, financially and violence unfortunately. Russia and China are both in bad shape. South Africa is having a ton of violence and destabilization. Not sure about Australia and New Zealand. Things have been pretty quiet since Covid.

For me as an American born woman in great britain i think its america or britain, britain is super so far and healthcare is great but it doesn't have the same liberties as united states as i experienced them there.

My man and i plan to adopt but we are going for a dog first and veterinary care is great here too.

Nifrayu · Answer

I don't know, but definitely not the USA. Infant mortality rates are high here for some reason, breastfeeding is frowned upon for some strange cultural hang-up that I don't understand and the infant genital mutilation culture here is among the worst in the world. That's my opinion.

Med_guy1978 · Answer

Sweden I heard gives the mother about 500 days maternity pay and the father 3 months. Good benefits for families with children. I heard kindergarten is approximately €100 per month. Russia pays the mother for having children, like a bonus. Hungary has some kind of law that entitles families tax cuts for over a certain number of children. Iran gives a mother full pension rights for raising her children and being a housewife, so at 48 she can claim full pension.

LiamS95 · Answer

Canada, as it won't cost you anything to have the children as Healthcare is free. At least it is in Ontario and I think the other provinces have similar Healthcare plans. It's safe for a woman in Ontario, Canada as well.

Russia 🇷🇺 and any Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 would be a great country to get married and raise children because there are rules and doscipling.
