Is marrying a Muslim woman in a foreign country who does not hold a university degree considered disobedience to parents, despite the young man being exposed to temptations, given that his parents disapprove and wish for him to marry a Muslim woman from his own country who is younger and of the same educational level or holds a university degree?
There is no sin upon you in marrying someone from your place of study if you fear falling into sin, and you would not be disobedient to your father, because obedience to the Creator takes precedence. However, we advise you to try to convince your parents and to intercede through someone who holds influence with them to gain their approval.
