* 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.

When should you ask her father for her hand in marriage?

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.
