What one or both members of da unfortunate couple at a shotgun wedding would likely wish could be granted regarding da terms of da marriage agreement.
I never could understand da rationale behind a loose-with-his-zipper dude's being forced to marry da gal whom he'd gotten preggo but was otherwise unwilling to stand by --- presumably da girl's parents would not even want a "deadbeat dad" like him as a reputation-sullying member of their formerly-respectable family, anyway. Maybe "'way back when" during da time when shotgun weddings were more common, there were not da legal "ALTERation" possibilities yet dat would merely require da dude to pay child-support, not actually live in da same household as da new mother.
