Best Answer

In colonial times, the father had a hand in every aspect of family planning, including medicine, depending on where the family lived. If a family lived on a farm, for instance, and a child broke their arm, the father might set and splint it rather than calling for a doctor.

In the medieval period did the man have to ask the father for the hand of his daughters marriage?

In Medieval times yes, the man who wanted to marry a father's daughter had to ask for her hand in marriage and if the father rejected the young man then his daughter was not able to see him any longer. Also, in some countries if the father accepted the young man's proposal of his daughter's hand in marriage there would be a dowry (either money or property that the father gave the young man if the father was wealthy and if the father was poor then sometimes the dowry would simply be farm animals, etc.)

It doesn't. The Bible does say some things about marriage, but it doesn't say anything about girlfriends or asking her hand (in fact, in Biblical times, what would have been more likely to happen is that his father and her father would discuss it; or at best he would discuss it with her father).

In the Colonial times most breads were baked in the home, either by a family member or by a servant. There were a few places that did have bake shops.
