Quotation marks for YES and NO

Which yes in the following sentences is the correct one?: 1) "If he had said 'yes,' this would never have happened," she said. 2) "If he had said yes, this would never have happened," she said.

Also: a) "A guy has to propose, as it is a girl's privilege to say yes, even if she knows you'll end up getting married anyway," mother explained. b) "A guy has to propose, as it is a girl's privilege to say 'yes,' even if she knows you'll end up getting married anyway," mother explained.

Please help! These are so confusing.
