A last-minute decision to be married before a baby is born. Being married can simplify other bureaucracy if the mother dies or is incapacitated.

People often forget marriage is also a legal contract (in Germany it simplifies so many things, eg. health insurance, joint income tax filings, etc).

I think most immigrants who get married in Germany are doing it for legal reasons primarily.

A baby takes 9 months to develop, if you notice 2 days before birth that you should be married so that you don't have to adopt (or whatever other reason), that's just very poor planning on the parents' side.

And in actual emergencies, these processes can be accelerated, like every other buerocratic process in Germany
