Question:
My daughter 26 is in love with a married Muslim brother who is pious. he requires time 2 settle his personal matters before proposing. Another pious Muslim brother, single, made a proposal 2. She likes the married guy but her mum dislike him. Mum forcing.
Answer:
Your letter implies that the married party has not proposed yet. So the proposal of the single party is the one and only proposal, not a second proposal. Since the latter is also pious, then the Sunna is clear that the parents should view it as acceptable and God-sent.
