That doesn't even make any sense. Usually a couple has discussed future plans and marriage long before a proposal comes up, and the answer can be "no."

Of course she would know.

If he says yes, then he wants to marry her.

If he says no... He either doesn't want to get married, soesnt want to get married at the time, thinks marriage is something only a man can bring up, or has some other reason for saying no. But again, yes would mean that he does want to get married.

If a woman proposes to a man, it means she values marriage more than he does. The men I know wouldn't go for letting their woman propose to them.

Do you mean the man should be obligated because the woman did the asking? LOL, no.

If he sincerely wants to marry her, then of course he should accept. But a woman proposing to a man is not an automatic 'YES' unless the man is a complete and total idiot, likewise for the woman thinking making that move gives her a pass.

Doesn’t it mean the same thing if a man proposes to a woman? This isn’t the ‘70s anymore. Women have been proposing to men for a long time. if they are willing to end a relationship because a woman proposed, then the relationship wasn’t that strong to start with or they really don’t want to get married. It just seems to me like there is a huge power disparity if the sole reason for not accepting a marriage proposal is because a man can’t accept a proposal just because he is a man. That is ridiculous.

How would you "not allow" it? Shed some light for us.

So when he proposes does that mean he values marriage more than she does?

Does she get down on one knee and hold out a diamond pinky ring of around 2 carats when she does this?
