good boy for asking, but damn...
Even if you forget about the roots of the tradition (women as property), my problem with this whole permission thing is twofold. First, it's always the father who gets asked, and mum gets no say (even though mums quite often understand their daughters better than their dads). Second, it implies that it's someone's decision other than the person being proposed to. If anyone asked my dad for my hand in marriage he'd say no, on the grounds that it isn't his to give away. YDI.
marry her anyway it's her decision not his
Damn. FYL, son.
How did comment #98 get buried?? For real it is one of the only same sympathetic answers.
It is sympathetic, sure, but who cares? That's not what this site is for.

We need permission? What? Where the hell did I put my dang permission slip?!...
