We advise you to stay home and be dutiful and good to your parents. You should also advise your parents with gentleness and compassion, and avoid forbidden things as much as possible. If staying home is inseparable from forbidden acts, or if you fear falling into what Allah has prohibited, then you must leave the house. Regarding your family's refusal of your marriage, if it is for a valid reason, we advise you to obey them. However, if the reason is her religiosity or poverty, then you are not obliged to obey them.
