The answer

Obedience to parents is not obligatory in divorcing one's wife if she is righteous and religious, especially if he has children with her. Nor is their obedience obligatory in matters where they derive no benefit, or which cause harm to the child. If a parent becomes angry without just cause, this is not considered disobedience. Nevertheless, one should strive to gain their رضا (رضا) as much as possible.
