Property dispute

Today, I asked my girlfriend's dad for permission to take her hand in marriage. He said no, because he doesn't want her marrying a "sexist idiot who treats her like property", which he thinks asking permission amounts to, then told me to grow up. FML

Today, my dad is refusing to let me marry my fiancé because he said no when my dad asked for a loan of £10,000 to help clear some gambling debts. Apparently that shows my fiancé has poor family values and will be a bad father and an alcoholic husband. Impressive logical thinking there. FML

If he throws a few goats and pigs in, I'd say it's a good deal! But seriously, what state do you live in? And who is the intended bridegroom?

Does your family by any chance hail from northern states of India ? Because though it's not very common in the south,it's quite hardcore in the north!

Depends where your "North" is. Anywhere north of your home state is NOT north India. Plus I haven't heard of women being given away for cattle in any of the north indian states. I know people in the "Southern" state of Telangana rent their young girls to really old "men" from the Gulf states under the cover of marriage.

well, you are in Pa. no shortage of Amish and it's probably common practice to them. don't sweat it, don't think you can be legally sold in the USA anyways. CPS would have a field day.

Today, on the first day of 2024, I, a healthy 32 year-old, woke up to find I not only pissed the bed, but also shat myself in my sleep. I have no idea what I ate to cause this, nor how I didn't wake up when it was happening. This new year is literally off to a shit start. FML
