Have you got married?Did you have to ask for permisson from your parents before you get married.I haven't got married,but I think that if I fall in love with someone and intend to marry him,I have to tell my parents my decision and ask for permission from them.My parents love me so much that they care for everything about me,let alone my marriage.So it's necessary for me to let them know all about my choice.How about you?

Hi happybabe! You are a very good daughter for making your parents a part of your life. As for me, i didn't ask permission because our parents were the ones who were pushing us to get married because they want grandchildren rightaway and because we have been engaged for a very long time then. We just informed them and we still asked them to give us their blessings. Take care and have a nice day!

No, I didn't have to get permission to marry my husband 13 years ago. I was fairly young when I got married but old enough to make my own decisions. Luckily I got a great husband~

I didn't have to ask my parents when I got engaged to my wife. But it did help that my parents met her and really like her before then. My wife's mother also liked me before we got engaged... so everyone was quite happy with the result.

I'm married. In fact when we were dating, I would bring my love to see my parents. So if there was any disagreements, they could offer it at that time. Then when we decided to get marry, they wouldn't have objection. I think it's suitable for your parents to accept it. If not, the family fight will be hurtful for each other.

here in india we cannot marry without our parents permission.first they used to arrange marriages for us but nowadays love marriages are also common but that also we cannot have without our parents permission.after all we owe much to them and before starting our family we need to take their blessings.

I have'nt got married yet. I believed to ask for your parents permission before getting married is the right thing to do. Its a matter of respect, If you respect and love your parents its not a question to ask for permission for doing choices that are important on your life, its a must ask for their permission. Im glad that you think so too. :-)
