Will a mother be held accountable for her shortcomings and harshness towards her children, just as a son is held accountable for disobeying his mother?
Children have rights over their parents that must be observed, including: choosing a good spouse, giving the child a good name, caring for them, and providing their basic needs. The most important of these is raising them well and nurturing them in their morals, conduct, religion, and worldly affairs. Many fathers may fall short in this right, which leads to disobedience from the children. If the father and mother neglect to educate their child, they have wronged him, for the corruption of children often stems from the neglect of parents. Nevertheless, the parents' shortcomings do not mean that the child should neglect their rights; rather, he must always be dutiful to them.
