It's not that they're unimportant, but they aren't the one's getting married. Usually, he sign that dating has become serious, is when the prospective man is brought to meet the girl's parents.

[Imagines dating to be "meet to wander over the field and have a nice conversation", btw. Kissing clearly isn't involved before one is engaged.]
And the other way round?

The boy's parents might become involved, but I guess people are just more protective of their daughters.

They usually are the ones who give their child away, after all.

I think it's more tradition. Women can lead their own lives.

It's really just a name. Titles, as such, don't have meaning anymore in most of the world.

Yes. It's just not a power structure. It's who you care about and rely on, and who you have responsibilities for.

A lot of safety and security gets lost by that, though.

It depends. I always looked after my brother, because I'm older and I needed to be responsible for him.
But if my wife had obeyed her father, she would have been the 12th wife of a man she despised.
