I'm just trying to visualise Jar-eel asking anyone's permission. No dominating male relative to set the challenge, I'm afraid, not even the Red Emp.
I think you need to look at the slightly different cliche of circumstances and their other obligations and duties keeping them apart. A greater source of tragedy, anyway.
I can't remember enough about "the Tarsh guy" to say if he counted - wasn't he Argrath's fertility Companion? And didn't Jar-eel abandon a battle to go off with him? Sorry, not much tragedy there (well, maybe for the rest of the Lunar army).
Star-crossed lovers kept apart by other duties - Kallyr and Rigsdal?
There's got to be more?
