The proposal of marriage is an event where one person in a relationship asks for the other's hand in marriage. If accepted, it marks the initiation of engagement. It often has a ritual quality, sometimes involving the presentation of an engagement ring and a formalized asking of a question such as "Will you marry me?". In western culture, it is traditional for the man to propose to his girlfriend, as opposed to the other way around, while literally kneeling before her, and sometimes physically putting the ring on her finger, as opposed to merely giving it to her.

The average duration of preceding courtship varies considerably throughout the world. (See courtship duration.)

In many Western cultures, the tradition has been for the man to propose to the woman. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the 29th of February in a Leap year is said to be the one day when a woman can propose to her partner. As a monarch,  Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom had to propose to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Finland has the same custom, with the addition that a man rejecting such a proposal was expected to buy his suitor enough cloth for a skirt as compensation. Although still very rare, a woman will occasionally propose to a man. However, as in the instance of Nietzsche, who came up with the idea of the superman, had someone else propose for him.

In many cultures, it is traditional for grooms to ask the bride's father for permission before proposing.

The most common marriage proposals in most western countries are made on a romantic vacation or over a romantic meal.
Proposals made on or around special occasions are common in many cultures thoughout the world.
