family approval
Relatives' stamp okay
Family approval is the acceptance or endorsement of a decision, relationship, or life choice by one's relatives.
The phrase typically appears when family opinion carries weight—choosing a spouse, a career, or a major purchase: She waited for family approval before announcing the engagement.
Seeking or lacking family approval implies the family's judgment matters, whether welcomed or resented.
