Is this a homework question? Where I live, a woman does not need her father's permission, so "somehow" would not fit. But if she is from a culture in which marrying a man her father doesn't like is almost impossible, it would fit.

Don't you think it's cheating to get answers from other people for a test that you have to turn in for a grade?

No, I am a teacher. My task is to analyze test questions and teach my students how to prepare for tests.

So it's not YOUR homework question, which was what I meant.
