To what extent should a husband be able to control what his wife wears?
Find answers to your legal question.





To what extent should a husband be able to control what his wife wears?

Men - do you normally feel you have this right?
Ladies - should we see it as flattering or controlling? Would you allow your husband to veto a dress that typically receives a lot of compliments because of his own insecurities? (It's well-cut, nicely fitted, not at all indecent.
What do you think?

i dont think that its anyones place to tell someone what not to wear based on insecurity.

Husband does not want to be embarrass or hear off color remarks about his wife. It is not insecurity, it is respect. If a woman dresses as she pleases and attracts attention, attention to the point that the man will not leave her alone, who will she tell? If on the other hand the guy is handsome, well build, then comes "Oh, we are just friends." Why invite a disagreement with your husband over a rag?

NO!! This is rediculous, a man shouldn't dictate what a woman wears. Just because they marry doesn't mean she can't think for herself, or look pritty and feel pritty in something that makes her feel good. Men that do this are insecure, controlling and are abusive. As partners, they should be able to say," heu babe, that dress is to short," or " hun, those man jeans are to tight" It should be more of like when you tell a friend that something doesn't look right, before they go wearing it in public and yrs. laterr as you and them are looking at pics. they ask, why on earth didn't anyone tellme that shirt was horrible.

A man should only have a say, the woman is the one who has to wear it, and therefore has the control.
If my mate was not controlling/mean about it, and only suggested something different I would see it as sweet and flattering. That they care about what I look like!
If the dress was nice, not indecent, and he had insecurities about it...I would tell him that though I love him, I will not play to his insecurities.
That is what I think and feel on that issue~
Great question by the way! ~:0)

It is your body you can wear what you want. If he does not like it, he can stay home and not have to see you in it.

This is completely controlling. Never should a man control what you wear!

I understand if your wearing something with more than half your chest coming out, or a butt cheek or something!-Then your husband will have every right to. But if it's something that's not indecent....tell him to go to hell.

its very controlling, you will be asking permission to breathe next

woman, especially to wife, must submit to their husband. Beside that it's true,it is also biblical. There are so many marriages today that end up in divorce and it's mostly because of wife who don't submit to their husband.

If you don't want about those braggings of your husbands, well, you have no choice. You marry him, and there's nothing you can do about it. It's fault though why you marry him

Wear it! If it makes you feel good then go for it. You don't control what he wears why should he you? My hubby loves it when I wear "flattery" clothing. As long as I'm not looking like a "w***e" or a "stripper" and i'm confortable.

Does a woman dress to please her husband, herself, or others? I think all three. A man should be happy if other men consider her attractively dressed.
Justin: Could you care less? I think you mean you couldn't care less???

If I think something is a little too revealing, yeah I'd say something .. but I'm not about to tell her what to wear.

A man should not control any thing that his wife does. I would not dress differently because of his insecurities. I could see him objecting if it were trashy.


Candle
As long as it is not at all indecent, then I think you and only you have a say it what you wear. If you like and you look good in it and you feel comfortable in it then by all means wear and wear it well!


Jestin
To a certain extent, all the controll.


are ya fer real
why worry about what she wears. As long as she is wearing cloths when she gets home.

there shouldnt be a control...there should be a understanding of what you would like your partner to wear


Sara

it is your body so you should be able to cover it how ever you like. you may want to talk to you husband about it and see why he has a problem with certain outfits and try to comfort him or compromise on some of the issues. but in the end it is your body and your choice.

None at all...he can suggest you don't wear something if he thinks it is inappropriate for the occassion but you don't have to take the suggestion


Precious
My husband doesn't control what I wear at all. However, if I asks his opinion, I want a polite but honest answer. Since I am "chesty" I have my husband help me decide when a shirt is too low cut or not etc. He pretty much likes what I wear.

No rights at all to control wifes attire unless it's too cheap to wear in public. Just as you using your veto for the husband if he wanted to go out in a Speedo to the corner store. Wear what you want to wear and please yourself first, husband second.

no u have all the control
