Is the groom's father's asking for the girl for his son in front of the villagers and relatives, and her father's approval, considered a legitimate marriage that permits going out with her without a mahram?
The guardian of the woman's consent to the suitor and his promise to marry is not a marriage and does not permit seclusion [] or similar impermissible acts. However, if what was mentioned is the marriage contract itself, with the form of offer and acceptance, such as the wife's guardian saying to the husband's representative, "I have given my daughter in marriage to your client," and the husband's representative says, "And I accept on behalf of my client," along with the presence of witnesses, then the marriage is concluded, and the girl becomes your wife. You are then permitted from her what a husband is permitted from his wife, while observing common custom.
