{{Main|Forced pregnancy}}
Forced pregnancy is the practice of forcing a woman or girl to become [[pregnant]], often as part of a [[forced marriage]], including by means of [[bride kidnapping]], through rape (including [[marital rape]], [[war rape]] and [[genocidal rape]]) or as part of a program of breeding [[slave]]s (see [[Slave breeding in the United States]]). It is a form of [[reproductive coercion]], was common historically, and still occurs in parts of the world. In the 20th century, state-mandated forced marriage with the aim of increasing the population was practiced by some authoritarian governments, notably during the [[Khmer Rouge]] regime in [[Cambodia]], which systematically forced people into marriages ordering them to have children, in order to increase the population and continue the revolution.<ref>{{cite book | last = Anderson | first = Natalae | title = Memorandum: Charging forced marriage as a crime against humanity | url = http://www.d.dccam.org/Abouts/Intern/Natalae_Forced_marriage.pdf | publisher = Documentation Center of Cambodia | date = 22 September 2010 | access-date = 11 August 2017 | archive-date = 20 October 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171020153617/http://www.d.dccam.org/Abouts/Intern/Natalae_Forced_marriage.pdf | url-status = dead }}</ref> Forced pregnancy is strongly connected to the custom of [[bride price]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bawah |first1=Ayaga Agula |last2=Akweongo |first2=Patricia |last3=Simmons |first3=Ruth |last4=Phillips |first4=James F. |title=Women's Fears and Men's Anxieties: The Impact of Family Planning on Gender Relations in Northern Ghana |journal=Studies in Family Planning |date=March 1999 |volume=30 |issue=1 |pages=54–66 |doi=10.1111/j.1728-4465.1999.00054.x |pmid=10216896 |hdl=2027.42/73927 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>
