My cousin's husband asked her father for permission to marry her. From how my uncle described it, it was mostly an opportunity for them to sit down and have a Guy Talk about becoming family and what it meant to be so important in someone's life and all of that.
I didn't even ask my partner's wife for permission to marry him (though we did inform her as soon as we realized we wanted to go in that direction) so I'm going to come down pretty hard on the side of autonomy here.
