Is it still a common tradition to ask your partner's dad's permission to marry them in this country?

I've been with my current partner for almost 5 years and thinking of proposing later this year, however I'm unsure if I should ask her dad's permission first.

When I was with my ex, she insisted on me asking her dad first (even though after I asked him he said there was no need) and when my partner's sister's fiancé proposed to her last year he asked her dad's permission.

To me, it seems a very archaic tradition, essentially treating your wife as her father's property, but maybe that's just me?

Did you ask their dad for permission before proposing?
