Salam

i wanted to ask anyone for help on what Islam says we can do in these situations?

If a Brother wanted to get married to this sister but his parents are refusing this marriage propasal only because she is not what they are looking for, ie her family not of high status or she isn't so beautyful, Is there anything he can do that would not make him commit sin by going against his parents?

the sister is practicing Islam, and everyone in her family are practicing muslims too. But what his parents have a problem with is the fact that her brother has gone down the wrong route and to them that means that if they get their son married to this family, their own extended family will say they didn't get their son married to a 'good' family.

the Brother himslef would like to marry this person but because he is the eldest son and he doesn't want to disobey his parents and make them upset, he is likely not to do anything about it, and refuse any proposals that come his way because he feels he cannot marry the person his parents chose for him.as she is going to be what they think is right and not what he thinks is right for him.

thank you for your help and advice,

wa'salam

if their reasons are superficial then it should be noted that a male does not need a walis approval for marriage

Sister this isn't so much about IF he can marry without his parents approval but rather how to convince the parents to drop their... objections?

They don't know better. This is the way it 'was' and hence 'is' in their heads. Most of us are born to migrant parents. They can't help their traditionalist thoughts...and we can't help our 'newage' ones.

This is our test...but my kids are marrying into any background they like Inshallah.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, I don't think its even a sin in the first place. Sorry I have no hadith for this though. I personally think the son does not have to convince anyone at all honestly or prove anything to anyone. Sounds like two good people want to get married so, whats there to question? The fact that the son's family is worried about their 'status' or what other people think, shows that the fault is with them themselves, and not the girl's family. Whatever happens though, I wish you guys the best.

salam thank you all for your comments..

the problem even after knowing all this is that i guess he does not want to hurt his parents and feels if he does in some way he'll be sinful for going againts them.

the saddest thing is, being that person. where you are judged like you are not a 'person' and your family are so low. and to live with that feeling is a challenge.

make dua pls, salam
