Is a married man obliged to obey his mother concerning marriage to a second woman when he does not desire that and is content with his first wife?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not obligatory to obey the mother in marrying someone the girl does not desire, and the girl is not considered disobedient for refusing this. However, she must honor her mother, treat her kindly, and offer her apologies gently, because the mother's right is great, and honoring her is among the most obligatory duties.
