Is the questioner sinful for disobeying her mother, who refused her marriage to a man of good character and religious commitment due to old tribal disputes, even though the mother disowned her, tormented her, and accused her of an unlawful marriage?
If the suitor is a man of religion and good character, and the mother has no valid reason for her refusal, then the girl may marry him without her mother's consent. The girl has done well by striving to gain her mother's approval and maintain kinship ties, while the mother has done wrong by rejecting these ties, inciting against them, and spreading rumors. If the girl fulfills her obligations towards her mother, she bears no sin for her mother's aversion. It is advised to continue attempting reconciliation with her, seeking help from Allah, and from those who can influence her.
