Young adults and wedding experts debate the longstanding tradition of asking a father's permission to marry their partner, and whether it has become outdated.
Dr. Bradford Wilcox of UVA's National Marriage Project reacts to a survey showing young adults are less likely to reach key milestones on 'America Reports.'is the practice of men asking fathers' permission to marry their daughters.
"As a 21-year-old woman who just recently got married, I believe that it shows respect and honor to a father by a man asking for his permission to marry his daughter. I believe it’s a sign of integrity and maturity," Talley told Fox News Digital. Kim Forrest, senior editor at The Knot, said their recent studies have shown the tradition of asking fathers for permission continues to be"popular and relevant."
"We’re also finding that marriers are moving away from ‘asking for permission,’ and rather stating their intention to marry to parents and family members," she later said."Modern couples don’t necessarily need parents’ permission to wed, but they do want to include their families in the process. Sharing the intention to marry with your future in-laws before the proposal will be a special moment for them, and give them a sense of involvement.
"I think it perpetuates the notion that women are treated as property and incapable of making significant decisions for themselves," he continued."Even in scenarios where you ask both parents, the ultimate decision should rest with the daughter.
