I plan to expand this page by adding more history to marriage Bars, the reasoning for them, and where marriage bars were put into effect. This is part of an assignment for a WGS studies class I am currently enrolled in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmire9 (talk • contribs) 14:44, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds good, Mmire9. Ewawer also seems to be interested in expanding the article, so hopefully something good will result. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:31, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The original wording of the "Reasons given for marriage bars" section suggests that the source given (Spectator article) supports marriage bars. It clearly doesn't - it lists the arguments for the bar one by one and dismisses them, concluding that the Civil Service should not have a marriage bar. I've amended to remove this falsehood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.140.133.214 (talk) 09:19, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Way total POV (with more accurate ways to describe it). Articles alleging attitudes and discrimination by others really need to have a second look.
What is the context? Who exactly are you accusing? What is the evidence? What is the alleged impact, etc.
And why are you using Wikipedia to launch a debate anyway?
Though not as widespread a phenomenon, some jobs have been restricted to single men. There are of course things like the Catholic priesthood, but there have been cases where the reason is much less obvious. Fellows at Oxford, for example, were forbidden to marry until 1877. Some discussion of these cases might be included.Bill (talk) 04:50, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
