A quick poll- if you are married....

[BertrandRussell]

Did your husband ask your father’s permission before he asked you?

If possible, just a yes or no.

Yes.

No

No.

No

Fuck no!

No

Yes

No. I didn't get on with him anyway

No

No

I wouldn't have married him if he had.

Yes.

Not without having a seance,no.

Yes, 19 years ago. Bloody ridiculous idea. Would never entertain such a notion nowadays. I'm not a possession.

No.

Yes

Hahaha no. I didn't get my future father in law's permission either.

Well considering I asked DH to marry me, no.

No. I also wouldn't have married him if he had

No. he'd never met my dad at that point. my dad lived in another country with his new wife

No (dad was dead by then, but I can't image he would have anyway)

No- but my father was dead so you know...

Yes - and I'm happy he did. Not because we needed permission, or because I was property to be handed over, but simply because that's a traditional approach and my dad would have appreciated the gesture.

No

No

Yes. But it was a done deal, it just made us all giggle.
