Tradition.
Originally the practice started because women were, in many ancient societies, considered "property." The father (the previous owner) was "giving" her to the groom (the new owner) (actually, when you lump in the old tradition of a "bride price", it was more like he was selling her to the groom).
We mostly don't think of women like that today, but the tradition remains.

This isn't a problem about her, then. They still love their daughter very much, but they don't love each other anymore. When her dad moves away, it is becaue of the mother, not the daughter.
