What is the way to marry the girl I love, who would help me obey God and bear responsibility, given my father's refusal of the engagement now on the pretext of the house not being ready, and his threat to disown me if I marry and live far from him?

If the father does not object to the marriage but wishes to postpone it, it is advisable to try to persuade him and to involve respected community members to influence him. One should avoid anything that displeases him, unless there is a fear of falling into sin by not marrying, because the parents' consent and obedience to them are obligatory, as long as they do not conflict with obedience to Allah. The prospective bride's family can be persuaded to postpone the engagement in order to obtain the father's approval and consent, as this contributes to the stability of marital life.
