[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rewatching this, and have a question. What happened to married couples (before Gilead), who had kids? Were they allowed to remain married and live as couples? Or were only certain married couples allowed to remain together - ie, high ranking and important people?[/quote] I believe only what Gilead considered "legitimate" marriages were allowed to remain together. Offred's was a second marriage for her husband, so their marriage was declared illegitimate-that's why they were running away. Who knows what other criteria they came up with to make sure they could collect as many fertile women as they could. Lesbians were taken because they had no man to be their caretaker. They must have had some type of fertility testing, and some became Handmaids, others were sent to the colonies or Jezebel's or to be a Martha Or and aunt or whatever else.[/quote]
