"Ask permission" is a concept that doesn't have anything to do with marriage. But she should let him know and she should probably introduce him to her male friend and preferably her male friend's girlfriend, too, if the guy is a little insecure. I am very surprised to find out that there are still people who think a man and a woman cannot be just friends. I have friends of both genders and I think any normal person can see the difference between friendship and a love interest.

A great deal depends on the security of the relationship between the husband and wife, and where and why the wife is going someplace with a man other than her husband.
I am incredibly lucky. I have a secure, supportive husband. And occasionally I go out with friends, male or female to places he just wouldn't enjoy.
Do I ask permission? No. But I do tell him where I am going and when I will be back and talk about the experience afterward. And if he has an objection for one reason or another, he tells me. And I respect his opinion enough that I will consider what he says.

As a woman who went out with a male friend, even when speaking to her husband so he knew what was going on, I really wouldn't because it really does turn into something else, even if the both of them don't mean it to be. It's really not a good idea. Unless the guy's gay or something.
Although I would never say she needs to ask permission. Both partners need to have a serious talk. Women and men can't be "just friends," I'm an example of that statement. If she needs to "go out" with male friends chances are she feels something is missing from the current relationship, and you should find out what it is and do you're best to correct it.

Wow alot of people have something against your permission statement. Frankly I think yes and I would ask the same from my husband. It is respectful and courteous of your spouse to ask before doing some things. A marriage takes hard work and communication and you need to know how your spouse feels about things, by asking. We don't believe in opposite friendships in our house but it would be no different than asking to make a big purchase before actually spending the money. Just because you are an adult doesn't give you the right to make all the decisions in your relationship alone.

Yes! These small permissions go a long way in smooth married life!!Once married the husband believes that the wife is his own and wife should believe that husband is her own!! And these small things help to build the confidence on each other!!!

Depends on how her husband is. If you are going out with a male friend you can do a few things: 1) I would definitely let him know that you are going to go. 2) I would ask my husband to come along, just so he knows nothing was going on.
If you are married, chances are your husband trusts you. Let him know that you are aware of that. But definitely offer for him to come along. Good Luck!!

If she's married she shouldn't be going out with male friends without the husband, not unless the husband is her pimp and getting paid for it. But she shouldn't even think about going out with male guys if she's married. Not unless she's not happily married and trying to give the husband a hint.

I'm a little older and would consider that so disrespectful. I would only have a lady friend if I wanted trouble in the house, however it's hard to say how younger people deal with this today, I think this is one of those openess liberating things that just leads to trouble.

Permission is the wrong word. She "should" have enough respect for you to inform you of her plans, and if you have a problem with it, then you all should be able to discuss the pros and cons of her actions. Is there a reason you cannot come along??

At the very least she should certainly inform her husband and then they can discuss it.
I don't think a woman should ever have to ask "permission" to do anything....she's not a child.
