This seem like the same kind of tradition as asking if there are any "reasons why these two should no be married" or whatever that phrase is. I don't think either are really intended to be anything more than rhetorical questions. If most people nowadays want to marry someone, their parents consent or lack thereof won't keep them from marrying, the lack will just make things more uncomfortable.
