Dad ‘proposes’ to his 20-year-old daughter with purity ring and sparks controversy

The self-proclaimed Christian TikTok creator wanted to hear a promise from his daughter.

A father has come under fire after he โ€˜proposedโ€™ to his 20-year-old daughter with a purity ring.

Thatโ€™s right, not only did he propose, but with a ring which signifies abstinence. Woah.

So, the whole thing began when Patrick, aย Christianย content creator onย TikTok, decided to surprise his daughter, named Sarah.

Maybe it was supposed to be a wholesome moment, but the strange messaging behind the ring as well as his words didnโ€™t sit well with viewers.

In the clip, you can see Patrick talk to his daughter about how โ€˜proudโ€™ his is that she has remained โ€˜pureโ€™. Again, yikes.

He then proceeded to get down on one knee and presented her with a purity ring so that she could continue her promise to him and to God.

He said in the video that it wasnโ€™t an actual proposal, but it was just to show his daughter how proud he was of her.

He said to her: “First of all, you’re 20 years old, and most kids your age are not pure. Well, I want to thank you for being here and give you something. Sarah, will you wear this ring as a sign and a promise to God and to me to remain pure until the day you’re married?”
