Asking a dad for permission to marry a woman is fucking disgusting and needs to go away. Women aren't property. Children aren't property. Fucking toxic shit.

Also boomer-ass "wife bad."

It’s more like “can I be in your family” now a days. If my wife’s dad said no, I would’ve still married her. But knowing that I’m accepted into their family is nice.

If that's the question, why is it always the father they ask?

It's not. I asked their mother. But asked isn't even really the right word. I discussed proposing to their child with them first out of empathy, courtesy, respect, just plain demonstrating the ability to have real life adult conversations. I think using the idiom of "Asking for permission" really has some pedants in this thread in a twist.
