Obeying one's father is obligatory unless it involves disobedience [to Allah]. The Lord's pleasure is found in the father's pleasure. If the son fears falling into haram due to delaying marriage, then he must marry after advising his father gently, while alerting the father to the danger of marrying off his female ward without a dowry, which is known as Shighar.
