Why doesn't Juliet's father let Romeo and Juliet get married?

Nobody ever suggests to Capulet that Juliet should marry Romeo. They assume that because Romeo and Juliet's families are both enemies for a reason they no longer can remember, it would be an insult to the family if Juliet's father let her marry Romeo. But Capulet might have agreed to the marriage if he had been asked. He says, "Romeo, is it? . . .'A bears him like a portly gentleman, and, to say truth, Verona brags of him to be a virtuous and well-governed youth."


What does Juliet's father threaten to do if she marries Romeo?

He does not threaten anything. He never hears about her desire to marry Romeo. Who knows? if she had said, "Father, I wish to marry the only son of rich Montague." he might have said, "Young Romeo is it? He bears him like a portly gentleman, and, to say truth, Verona brags of him to be a virtuous and well-governed youth. Montague would be bound as well as I, and it would not be hard, I think, for men as old as we to keep the peace." In fact, Capulet says exactly those things, but doesn't say them to Juliet.

Who has the power in Verona the individual parents young or the old?

In Verona, the power dynamics largely favor the older generation, particularly the individual parents. Their established social status and adherence to tradition often dictate the behavior and choices of the younger characters, like Romeo and Juliet. The conflict between the older generation's expectations and the desires of the youth highlights the struggle for autonomy and love in a constrained environment.
