You are not obliged to return to Turkey merely because your father said your sister is a trust with you, or because he ordered you to return, if your return would cause you harm. Obedience to parents is not absolutely obligatory; rather, it is obligatory in matters that benefit them and do not harm the child. It is important to note that acquiring the nationality of a non-Muslim country is impermissible except out of necessity, and residing in lands of disbelief entails risks.
