    I don't think he has a right to know anything about her past. Although I would say if they want the marriage to work they should both be open and honest about themselves.

    Nope.

    However, I think a man has a right to know whether or not the woman he wants to marry has the same views on abortion that he does.

    For the record, I'm a man - married with 4 children. No - I don't think the man in your scenario has the right to know the ghosts of his fiance's past. However, I would advise her to bring those ghosts out in the open if there is a significant chance that he might find out in some other manner - unless - they agree with each other in advance of the wedding that things of the past need not be discussed and that expectations will focus upon the present and the future. And, of course, this "rule" should apply equally to both of them.

    No, he has no right to know anything that will not directly affect him. But I would advise her to tell him fairly soon, because finding out that sort of thing could have a much greater harmful effect on a relationship later than earlier. Keeping that sort of thing secret when a relationship is serious shows a deep lack of trust.

    No I don't. Nor is it his right to ask how many men she has "been with". Whatever her life was like before they met is really none of his business. Whatever his life was like before they met is really none of her business. To insist on knowing chapter and verse of everything in someone's past is a good sign that the person is controlling, insecure and suffers from jealousy. I'd back away from any man who asked such impertinent questions. Now, if a person wants to reveal his/her past in its entirety, that is a different matter. But is it his/her "right"? No way. Just my opinion. :)
