Is it still custom for a guy to ask a girl's father for permission to marry her?

Do people still do this?

What if the couple love each other but the girl's father hates the dude? Or if he gets a "no" from the father, should he not bother ask the girl?

On one hand you would think a woman would value her father's opinion. On the other hand, doing this sort of insinuates that the girl can't make her own decisions and considered the property of her father.
