Ask father to marry his daughter
Asking a father for his daughter's hand in marriage (6 tips)
Weddings are full of traditions, such as which finger to wear a wedding ring on. According to another tradition, a man should ask his father-in-law-to-be for his daughter's hand. Does this still happen? And how does it work?
Asking someone's hand as permission to marry
In the past, the groom had to ask his father in law for his daughter's hand in marriage. This was done out of respect for the bride's father. This is because most fathers are very protective. They first want to know everything about the groom's future plans. What does his work situation look like? Does he have a home? And what about children?
Times change. Today, men do not ask for permission, but rather for their blessing or congratulations. In addition, the future mother-in-law is also usually involved.
