Fathers could not force daughters into marriage. Which principle did this reform advance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Free consent

A marriage is a major personal and social decision, so it should be based on the willingness of the people who are marrying. A reform that stopped fathers from forcing daughters into marriage protected the daughter’s right to agree or refuse. This advances the principle of free consent, because family authority could no longer replace the individual’s own choice. It also shows a movement away from treating women as people whose marriages could be arranged entirely by others.

The reasoning is direct: the reform concerns whether a daughter must obey an imposed marriage or may make her own decision. If force is removed and her approval is required, consent becomes the guiding principle. Therefore option A is correct. A king’s order, a feudal payment, or a foreign treaty has no necessary connection with voluntary marriage. The supplied answer is historically and logically consistent with the reform described.
