Bonasera kisses the hand of the Godfather. This scene is generally what I think of when I write "kiss the ring". The Godfather has the power and Bonasera has to "kiss the ring" so as to access that power that the Godfather can bring to bear on his situation.
Bonasera's daughter was viciously beaten and it destroyed her good looks. Evidently, Bonasera didn't think of what Michael Corleone thought of when he was hiding out in Sicily. He asks the blessing of the girl's father and agrees to the family supervision of the courtship. The possibility of something like what happened to Bonasera's daughter could not occur because of such supervision.
