Doug PhillipsDaughters arenโt to be independent. Theyโre not to act outside the scope โจof their father. As long as theyโre under the authority of their fathers, fathers have the ability to nullify or not the oaths and the vows. Daughters canโt just go out โจindependently and say, โIโm going to marry whoever I want.โ No. The father has โจthe ability to say, โNo, Iโm sorry, that has to be approved by me.โ
