As in:
Can I take your daughter to a movie?

Re-word your question to fit the culture

Explanation:
Greetings.

You might wish to re-word your question so that

(1) the context fits the Kurdish culture (a girl's parents are very watchful and protective about their daughter's public status and reputation)

and

(2) you won't astonish or anger the parent whose permission you would be seeking.

HTH.
