Rather, the fact that she gave her “fiat,” or affirmative consent, is an essential part of the story — and a deliberate challenge to patriarchal sexual norms of the time. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%201%3A38&version=ESV https://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2012/12/let-it-be-marys-radical-declaration-of-consent/266616/
