Is it obligatory to obey one's father in marrying a paternal cousin, despite the mother's refusal, as she prefers another wife for her son?

Obedience to parents is obligatory. If the commands of the father and mother contradict each other in a matter that is not sinful, then the mother's obedience takes precedence. Therefore, you must obey your mother in not marrying this girl.
