The language barrier is not between the daughter and her husband, but the husband and her parents. In short, it's none of their business.
And it is absolutely prejudiced to want your daughter to only marry within your culture.

I agree and if it were me and I felt they really did love each other I would take on the challenge of learning the husband's language whole heartedly. I can never understand why people aren't excited about opportunities to explore new cultures. There's so much out there to experience and if you've got people living in that culture who can guide you, it's perfect!!
