The final step is the current situation in the United States and Europe in which children simply inform their parents of their choice of a husband or wife. The necessity of a father’s consent to marriage figures in many works of art. This lasted longer for girls than for boys. In later centuries when children were able to choose their spouse, they were still required to obtain the consent of their parents, usually the father, for a marriage. Later, Capulet reverts to the old style, demanding that Juliet marry Paris, on pain of disinheritance. Lies my consent and fair according voice. At first he tells Paris, Juliet’s suitor:īut woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart, Juliet’s father, Capulet, is ambivalent on this issue. Later, children could veto a parents’ choice. They married the person their parents selected.
In Antiquity and the Middle Ages, among the upper classes where issues of property and power were important, children were their parents’ chattel.
