Is it still preferred for men to ask the girlfriend's family for permission before proposing?

I'm not sure I would want to marry someone who asked someone else for permission. I make my own decisions.

In the South it is considered proper- a formality like any other.

The Jim Bob Duggar, whose son Josh Duggar frequently sexually assaulted his young sisters in Jim Bob's house, and now serves prison time, convicted for two felony child pornography charges?
