The 2 verbs are a matter of degree, for example:
His father forbade him to marry the serving girl, but he did anyway and his father never spoke to him again.
His father disapproved of him marrying the serving girl, but after he did, his father came to see how kind, loving and beautiful she was and accepted her like a daughter of his own.
