Try again with "shotgun". But it means a marriage forced by reason of the bride's pregnancy. Don't know how it is where you come from, but over here you'd probably be too young to remember the practice.

You didn't try hard enough. See below how to Google for better and many results.
The explanations you've received so far were only partially helpful. They defined the term but did not explain why such weddings are called "shotgun weddings" or "shotgun marriages."
