Not by her dad, but by her - so her dad just went along with it. He was refusing Bhishma initially but then she said it's a yes from me! and he's like, but he's BLIND! and she goes, great, so when I'm old and grey he'll still love me the same way! bonus! and the rest is history.
If that's the case and if the goat story is not there in Vyas' MB, then Shakuni really has no case at all. If goat story is there in Vyas' MB, then it's Dhritrashtra's fault. Bheeshm can't be blamed under either scenarios.
I hear ya when it comes to Bheeshm - the character and the actor both!
