The answer

Legally, it is permissible for a woman to remove hair from her beard and mustache. In fact, some scholars have gone as far as to say that it is obligatory to remove it because it goes against the natural disposition (fitra), and leaving it disfigures a woman. Therefore, you must remove any hair that grows in the mustache and beard area, and you are not obliged to obey your father if he forbids you from doing so. You should inform him of this and what the scholars have said.
