What is the way to marry a girl whose family refuses the association due to family disputes, knowing there is strong love between the two parties and a desire to marry, especially since the young man feels distressed and depressed?
The "We have not seen for two who love one another anything like marriage" indicates an encouragement for those who love each other to marry, as it extinguishes the fire of infatuation. If the mother objects to the marriage merely due to an old dispute, she should not do so. It is advised to supplicate and try to persuade the mother by seeking help from those who hold a respected position with her. If this is not feasible, then obedience to parents takes precedence over marrying a specific woman, unless there is an overriding benefit. Allah may grant something better to whoever chooses to honor their mother, and there might be an unknown good in the matter. One must strive to overcome negative feelings through supplication and remembrance, engage in beneficial activities, and avoid wishing for death, which is prohibited.
