I do understand your sentiments...honestly, if you are working in an international culture, you need to tend and solve matters responsibly. Perhaps your view is more cuturally based than humanatarian.!!!
Open up people the world's changing.....
Pardon me I mean no offence.....its just that its hurting to see a narrow minded approch from an HR person. (strictly personal opinion)

Boss there is no question of immoral or ethics in the case, Its is legally accepted if the women is pregnant before marriage.. And if the employer is trying to terminate - It is unethical and illegal, the employee can sue the company for the action.
Do you terminate employees if they get divorced with their spouses? Its a similar case, So pls go n tell ur management that the employee can sue them and tell them that it is unethical to behave like that.....

Well nothing is narrow minded , or broad minded, today you encourage one woman, tomorrow another one will come and tell she is pregnant, and all organisations will start following this policy. So tomorrow more people will not at all get married, and start having children like this, mostly girls will join organisations and get pregnant to avail maternity benefits..
What the hell is going on, is this workplace or some @########$,
even though the MNCs are there, and there is international exposure, but it is not easy to root the Indian culture,and the employees are indians.
So if u call following our culture as narrow minded, then think why do you follow your own culture, whatever it may, why before starting any work, you pray to god, do some rituals, why on purchase of any new product, u do some rituals, why ,,,,,why
Though medically possible but it is a crime to bear child in india without getting married, though what the law may say...
