How should a girl act whose family has refused her marriage to a young man she loves, because they saw him arguing with her harshly, and they fear he would treat her badly?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman may not marry except with the permission of her guardian. Parents are often the most capable of determining what is best for their daughter, and it is incumbent upon the woman to obey them, unless they prevent the marriage for an invalid reason. The love that develops between a young man and woman may have unlawful beginnings, and it is incumbent upon the parents to improve their selection and verify the man's character and religiosity, for the essence lies in character and religiosity. The daughter must obey her parents because they know what is in her best interest.
