Question:
Salam Ya Shaykh and Eshaykh Staff,
I love a woman whom I wish to marry, but my parents want me to get married to someone else what should I do because I don’t think they will allow me to marry my choice.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
If your parents refuse to give their consent to marry a moral woman and instead seek a corrupt person for you, then you don’t have to follow their course of action. I hope that is not the case. Therefore, seek the blessings of your parents.
