Surprisingly, Mr. Bennet approves of Elizabeth's refusal. Although the rest of Elizabeth's family believes in the traditional norms of the time, Mr. Bennet thinks more outside the box. He primarily concerns himself with Elizabeth's happiness and knows that her free spirited attitude would not be a match for Mr. Collins.

However, Mr. Bennet's dislike of Mr. Collins and his approval of Elizabeth's actions show that not everyone believed in marrying the first person who presents an offer.
