No idea where you online, but the typical response where I live! would be: She’s an adult, for god’s sake. If you want to date her, then just ask her (in person, not by mail). If she says you need her parents’ permission, THEN ask for it. But going to the parents first is basically saying she’s their property, which is weird and gross.
OP already said the certificate doesn’t mean anything to her, she just wants to have the ceremony with her mother as witness before she dies. Did you read the post?
