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.

No. Very much no.

No

No

Thinking back, I think my dad was a bit miffed he didn't ask but , as pp said, I'm not a possession to be owned.

No

No

Also as with a PP - he didn't ask me, we decided together

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.

This ^^

No

No. Anyway I told DH we should get married (after asking twice in the years before). And then we told our families (who all live far away)

No.

He's not in my life so would have been ridiculous to do so.

LOL no.

Yes, but only as a joke by fax (DF was abroad at the time) as we would have got married anyway.

yes

although he spoke to both my parents, and it was more of a request for their blessing, rather than my hand, as DH says he'd have married me anyway. (Cheers.)

No

Yes

No.

No, fuck's sake, NO. If he had, my Dad would have read the riot act about consent and women being their own people and not chattels to be passed from one man to another. Ugh, gross.

No

Yes

No

God, no. I do not belong to my father.

No

No.

Dad didn’t walk me down the aisle either (very small registry office wedding). He & FIL were our witnesses though.

No
