Mary was not ‘just another unwed pregnant teen’ as some have referred to her as. Rather in the marriage arrangement under Jewish custom she was already legally the wife of Joseph which is why he thought of a quiet divorce. Our Lord did not come into this world under a cloud of scandal for an unmarried pregnant woman could even be subject to stoning.

So betrothed to you equals the same as married. Is that right?
