[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s a lovely gesture if also an archaic custom. It implies he will take care of her and cherish her like her own family hopefully did and helps the parents trust and let go of their daughter. I think it’s a nice sign of respect towards a [b]future father in law[/b] and shows that the guy was raised right.[/quote] Yeah, totally 'raised right' if you mean perpetuating the idea that patriarchy is good and that women are dependent upon men and families. Seems odd that a single question 'Do I have permission to marry your DD' would tell a 'future father-in-law' all he needs to know about the upbringing of his DD's suitor and lead to trust. I thought that was what dating was about. If parents don't trust a suitor or have reservations, they should communicate with their DD well before the marriage talks. Glad I'm raising my DDs and DSs differently than you. [/quote]
