* Sam Clay proposes to Rosa Saks for this reason in ''[[The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay]]''. She's pregnant with his cousin Joe's child, Joe has gone off to war and probably isn't coming back, and he's gay and {{spoiler|heartbroken as he's just split up with his lover.}}

* In [[Emile Zola]]'s book ''La Curee'' (''The Kill''), Aristide Saccard uses this ploy to marry a rich girl.

* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire|A Storm of Swords]]'' has Robb Stark proposing marriage to Jeyne Westerling after he has sex with her. He has his reasons, as he's just as honorable as his dad but doesn't want to produce a bastard like he did. Unfortunately, he also promised to marry another lord's daughter, so that... doesn't go well.

* In ''My Year of Meats'', by Ruth L. Ozeki, when Jane finds out her ex got her pregnant, one of her coworkers offers to marry her. Naturally, the fact they're also quite good friends isn't enough to make her accept.

* In ''[[Frasier]]'' Niles (somewhat drunkenly) proposes to Daphne after an [[Mistaken for Index|overheard conversation]] leads him to believe she's pregnant with Frasier's child. While he's at a [[Masquerade Ball]]. [[Shout-Out|Dressed as]] [[Cyrano De Bergerac]]. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|And he tries to challenge Frasier to a duel]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|for actions which he interprets as an attempt to bully Daphne into keeping quiet.]] This being ''Frasier'', [[Poor Communication Kills|it's all a spectacular web of misunderstanding.]]

* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', after Robin sarcastically says she's pregnant after Ted asks why she was throwing up, he swears that he'll marry her and help her raise the kid -- though he quickly stipulates that it'll have to be "one of ''those'' marriages", where they date other people (this was long after Ted and Robin broke up).
