        Asking the father for his daughters hand was a beautiful and respectful custom, both to the bride and her father. It was not condescending.

        Pretending that older customs that were prevalent in other times was demeaning, is demeaning to our history.

        Not to say that there weren't things wrong in those times. But pick on those things that deserve criticism, not good things

        "Asking" is thanking and acknowledging parent's tangible and intangible gifts in preparing their most precious treasure for marriage to you.

        I asked my wife's mother, stepfather, and grandfather before I asked her. Dad was still in the picture, but they hadn't been speaking.

        I was disappointed my son in law to be didn't approach me as I was the full time parent, and I do feel less obligated financially for it. 💕

        Can we please stop calling it "permission"? Let's call it what it is, a parental sniff test.

        I think it's a nice gesture. OTOH, I've know some real fake jerks that have done that and were terrible husbands. So there's that.
