Wesley's Genesis 24:57 Bible Commentary
24:57 Call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth — As children ought not to marry without their parents consent, so parents ought not to marry them without their own. Before the matter is resolved on, ask at the damsel's mouth, she is a party principally concerned; and therefore ought to be principally consulted.
