Heartfelt dislike for bad behavior from parents is excusable, as it is among the heart matters over which one has no control. It is advisable to strive to mend the relationship with parents, seeking help through supplication and sincere advice, and to identify the causes of disagreement and address them. Seeking marriage is important, and it is permissible for a woman, according to Islamic law, to search for a righteous husband. When getting married, one must be careful not to sever ties with parents and be keen on showing them dutifulness, while avoiding anything that might cause harm.
