Choice permitted or not to women?

I have read the other replies before stating mine.

First of all, it does not seem to me that this situation involved the pastor
or the pastor's wife (and any applicable authority issues).

This was a personal matter between a husband and wife.  There is no
information given (to us) to indicate that the wife in question had
disclosed the "answer" to *anyone*.

I believe the husband should respect the wife's decision not to disclose
personal information (especially if it involves another person who may be
hurt if the wife is the source of the info).  As the original post states:
"It was very easy for the bro. to obtain the same info from other sources."

That should end the debate.  The wife could simply reply: "I don't feel it
is my place to disclose the answer to that question, as I obtained it in
confidence.  If you need the answer, you should talk to So-and-so about it
and get the information first-hand."

Why would a loving husband try and force his wife to break a confidence in
the first place if he could "easily" obtain the information elsewhere?
