Quick Marriage

Quick marriages, no matter where they come from, are pretty much never a good thing. It only works out in scripted movies these days.

In your case, yes, it probably means he is desperate and wants a greencard, money or he wants you in bed in such a way it doesn't offend Allah.

Believe me, there are plenty of reasons beside "caring" for someone that people get married. Those reasons are also a breeding ground for a divorce.

Whether it's a Middle Eastern man or a Western man who got the girl pregnant, it's never a good idea to rush into marriage. That's actually one reason why the divorce rates are so high. You marry someone you don't know, and then they weren't who you thought.
