Your experience is not representative of the whole. I know a few single moms and many unmarried couples with children.
Indeed, it isn’t. My job has me dealing with a ton of children of the area I live in (“Concelho”, as we call it), and most of them are still not born out of marriage, that’s why I am surprised. 60% seems very high.
