How did Hermia get the approval of her father to marry Lysander in a midsummer's night dream?
Hermia doesn't get the approval from her father to marry Lysander. Her father finds Hermia with Lysander and Demitrius with Helena on the morning of the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. He demands that she be killed as per the law of Athens but Theseus says "I will overbear your will for in the temple by and by with us these couple shall eternally be knit"
Please check the exact quote as I wrote it from memory. But it means Theseus overturns death sentence and instead has both couple marry along with him.
