  • Filipino families are often very close as families and although not totally necessary it would be very respectful of you to either go visit her parents so they can get to know you and accept you into their family; letting them know their daughter is marrying a good man or, you could invite her parents to come visit paying the full cost. Although your girlfriend is more Westernized it is most respectful for you to be accepted by her family and because you asked the question in the first place I am sure they will accept you into their family with open arms.

When is it traditionally permitted for a woman to propose marriage to man?

This question is quite impertinent. I will do the best I can in answering this. Tradition is tradition. A woman proposing to a man is not tradition. That does not mean is not acceptable and that it is not done. Now as far as what is permitted as far a proposal has no jurisdiction to that type of event. No one needs a permission to propose to anyone. If you uncomfortable with all of this, you as well as anyone has the right to refuse.

Do you need to ask her parents before pop the question?

Etiquite for asking permission for their daughter's hand?

* The traditional custom was for the young man to ask the father for permission to marry his daughter, but now the tradition (if one follows correct etiquette) is to ask both parents. You can have your girlfriend there and sit as a couple and ask the parents. That's refreshing as most young couples just get engaged. To ask the parents for permission is kudos for the young man! This shows good manners, maturity and that he has respect for the parents.
