Asking for a Woman's Hand

这一传统可以追溯到古罗马时期。在那时的婚礼上，父亲“放开”

自己的女儿，把她交到她的丈夫的手上。在现代的婚礼上，也可见

到相同的“放开”习俗，即新娘的父亲将新娘引交给新郎。

The tradition of a man asking for a woman's hand dates back to a Roman marriage custom in which the father ''let go'' of his daughter and transferred her to the hand of her husband. An equivalent of the "letting go" custom can be seen in the modern marriage ceremony, where the father gives the bridre the bride away.
