Listening to Shop Around by the Miracles, they say:

Before you ask some girl for her hand now

Well, I completely get the idea that ask hand, as in almost all the languages, means somehow be in love relationship, but my question is if it means say i love you or it means would you marry me?

Best Answer

"To ask a girl for her hand" means to ask her to marry you.
