Will it ever be acceptable for Asians to have babies out of wedlock?

Nihal

Available for over a year

Some may think even now it's no longer a taboo but stories are emerging from south Asia to suggest it's still a huge issue. In Nepal there have been reports of babies being abandoned and left for dead because the parents weren't married. Clearly these are extreme examples, but is there still a taboo over babies being born out of wedlock in the Asian community?
