The answer

Marriage is predestined by Allah, and one is commanded to undertake the lawful means, such as choosing a spouse who possesses good character and religious commitment. Lying is a sin, and whoever is found to do so should be advised. If he repents, then it is well; otherwise, he is not among those whom the Messenger encouraged marrying off (to others). Obeying one's mother is a praiseworthy act, as long as it does not involve disobedience to Allah.
