It doesn't. The Bible does say some things about marriage, but it doesn't say anything about girlfriends or asking her hand (in fact, in Biblical times, what would have been more likely to happen is that his father and her father would discuss it; or at best he would discuss it with her father).
If one wishes to marry one's girlfriend, the first step is to ask for her hand in marriage. The next would be to apply for marriage license and speak to a priest, if applicable.
Answer Asking the girls father for her hand in marriage is a bit old fashioned. I'd ask the girl first, see what she says, and ask her what she thinks about going to her father. She may not appreciate that jesture. She should be of an age where she can answer for herself, and doesn't need her father's permission.

I would think that your girlfriend and her parents would think it a nice, polite gesture to ask for their blessings and their daughter's hand in marriage, but if your girlfriend is adamant about it, perhaps you should wait until you find out for sure whether you will be deployed or not, or wait until you get back.

Ask her and her father for her hand in marriage. Nothing much different.
It is obvious that the two of you have a lack of communication so it is up to you to open up the lines of communication and let your husband know you are not ok with him searching for his ex girlfriend and ask why does he feel the need too. Ask him right out if he loves you and wants to continue on with the marriage. You are his wife and his attention should be on you and not his ex girlfriend. Just be honest and ask him, otherwise things can get much worse. If he does find her, then ask him why and ask who does he prefer in his life.
