The irony was also that the whole lottery system (choosing of the caskets) was done by Portia's father to protect her.
The Prince of Morocco is the type of man the father would have chosen for her had he been alive. He was a prince, wealthy (and hence not after her money like Bassanio) and seemed genuine.
Therefore, the plan to have the right guy marry Portia backfired in the father's face.
