Leonato publicly shamed Claudio for his role in the humiliation of Hero by pretending that she had died from the distress caused by his actions. He confronted Claudio at their wedding, accusing him of being a coward and dishonorable. Additionally, Leonato demanded that Claudio prove his love for Hero by agreeing to marry her cousin, which was part of his plan to restore Hero's honor and teach Claudio a lesson about the consequences of his actions.
I think that leonato's instruction to hero is to say yes to claudio if he asks to marry her and this shows that the traditional attitudes were to get married at a young age and to get money.
The character that offers to help Claudio win Hero and Leonato's favor is Don Pedro, Prince of Aragon. He does this by concocting a plan to pretend that he is Claudio at a masked ball to romantically pursue Hero.
Leonato needed time to prove that Hero was indeed innocent, and probably also wanted to make sure Claudio felt sorry for slandering her. This was to make sure that his to be son-in-law was worthy to have his daughter.
He believes Don Pedro is courting Hero for himself.
