It's who he's asking that I have a problem with.
What he chooses to do with the information once he has it is entirely up to him, and who am I to judge that decision?
I have a roommate that had a little history, and was dating a a guy that she thought she might marry. She told him about it, because she admitted upfront that she had emotional issues from the experience, and he deserved to know that. Turns out he had more than her though and so nothing ever came of it.

I agree with you BDB, it is a very appropriate question......to ask a future spouse though, and NOT her bishop. And if it is to be asked, it should have nothing to do with worthiness, and everything to do with the practicalities of the relationship.
