Let's say guy does ask for the father's/family members' permission and he/they say no while they both want to get marry?? Woman is happy with him but not them, what then?? So woman doesn't get marry base on disapproval??
I'm not sure how it would work in America. But over here if the parents didn't want their adult daughter to marry a particular guy, she would still marry him anyway and her parents would be seen as the ones with the problem. It's very rare that parents over here would be like that though, unless the guy was physically abusive to her (even then they wouldn't tell her what to do, they'd just try and persuade her that it really isn't a good idea), or they're really religous like Muslims or Pakistanis.
