How can the desire of the father and mother in choosing a wife for their son be reconciled, especially if the mother's desire is based on reasons that may lead to the son's unhappiness?

Parents are not permitted to force a child to marry someone he does not desire. If there is a conflict between honoring the mother and the father, the mother takes precedence.

If the youngest daughter is righteous and your brother wishes to marry her, he may do so and will be rewarded for it.

The mother should not refuse her son's marriage to the eldest daughter merely out of jealousy or rumors, and news must be verified.

We advise dialogue and understanding among family members for the son's benefit, as he is the one who will live with his wife.
