William Shakespeare may have been forced to marry Anne Hathaway as a result of pregnancy. He was only 18 whereas she was 26, depending on the maturity of each, quite a large age difference. Unproven speculation is that Shakespeare went to London to escape his unhappy marriage.

Anne Hathaway was pregnant with Shakespeare's child. During that time period, it was very taboo to be pregnant out of wedlock. Their wedding was rushed, and their child was born 6 months later.
