I wouldn't have dreamed of asking her parents permission. I can't think of a better way to infantilize my future wife.
To have to ask permission suggests, to me, that she is either a possession that can be given or taken away, a child with no opinion of her own or both.
I honestly couldn't give a toss what her parents, my parents or anyone else's parents thought. I cared what she thought. Period.
