Other key informants included extramarital offsprings, their parents and grandparents. Results: Couples with extramarital pregnancy experience hard life. They tend to refuse the extramarital pregnancy and atempt to abort it. This situation affects parenting pattern. Social support system had an important role in parenting pattern. Couples lacking in social support system were not able to nurture the offsprings optimally. The offsprings received minimal stimuli required for the social development. In effect, their offsprings became shy and fearful. Conclusion: Social support system has an important role in parenting pattern. It is required for the extramarital couples to raise their offsprings normally.
