Forcing pregnancy is the practice of forcing a woman to get pregnant, often as part of a forced marriage, or as part of a slave breeding program, or as part of a genocide program. When forced pregnancy leads to reproduction, it is a form of coercion of reproduction.

Bride abduction
The practice of abducting the bride and forced marriage usually (with the exception of a purely symbolic "bridal abduction" which is actually a consensual exclusion) involves the "bride" rape in order to force her to conceive, placing her in a position where she becomes dependent on her rapist and her family and, because of cultural attitudes toward rape, can not return to his own family.
Raising slaves in the United States
During the period of slavery in the United States, many slave owners sought to influence the reproduction of slaves to increase the wealth of slave owners.
Slave slaves including forced sexual intercourse between male and female slaves, encouraging pregnancy of slaves, sexual relations between employers and slaves with the aim of producing slave children, and supporting female slaves who produce large numbers of children.
The purpose of breeding slaves is to produce new slaves without incurring purchase costs, to fill the labor shortages caused by the cessation of Atlantic slave trade, and to try to improve the health and productivity of slaves. Breeding of slaves is forgiven in the South because slaves are regarded as human slaves, and are not entitled to the same rights given to free men.
As a means of genocide
Rape, sexual slavery and related acts including coercion of pregnancy and sexual slavery are now recognized under the Geneva Conventions as a crime against humanity and war crimes; especially from 1949, Article 27 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, and later also the 1977 Additional Protocol to the 1949 Geneva Conventions, explicitly prohibits wartime rape and prostitution imposed. The Statute of Elucidation The Rome Statute, which defines the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, recognizes rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution, and forces pregnancy as a crime against humanity if part of a widespread or systematic practice.
The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda identifies rape as a genocide ability when used systematically or on a mass scale to destroy one person; then the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia also categorizes rape as a crime against humanity. In 2008, UN Security Council resolution 1820 identified such actions as being "war crimes, crimes against humanity or... genocide". Regardless of these measures, rape, whether systematic or not, remains widespread in conflict zones.
