I would imagine it was partly due to culture at the time. If "father said so" that was it - or certainly a lot more than today. And what could she do about it later? Even with the FOI Act, the information would be there, in a small box in a huge warehouse. Even after a few years she'd probably get over it and almost forget. She doesn't strike me as the sort who would sit and mope.
