The question

Is a father's refusal to marry his daughter to a specific man—because he would be a cause for her divorce and the scattering of her children, and her determination to marry him—considered an act of coercion against her? And is it permissible to disinherit her if she disobeys him and marries that man?

The answer

If a man corrupts a woman against her husband, and then the woman wishes to marry him, her father's prevention of her from marrying him is not considered forbidden coercion. The father has the right to prevent her from marrying him, and it is not permissible for a woman to marry without a guardian. However, if the father fears negative consequences from preventing her, he should marry her to him. As for a man's will to disinherit his daughter, it is null and void and impermissible.
