Is this valid reason for Parents to keep son unmarried ?

Is this valid reason for Parents to keep son unmarried if their son is not confident on driving and does not want to drive ever . We all know that in this age a vehicle a basic necessity is like as a home and it is like failing to fulfill responsibility as husband. Please cite evidence from quran and hadith if this allowed or not ?

 

[ardianto]

There's no car during period of Rasulullah (saw). So, there' s no ayah or hadith that related to driving car.

Bro, are you sure your parent tell you "If you can't drive car, you should not get married!"?. I am not sure because I myself a father. I am sure your parent just remind you that you should can drive car if you want to be accepted by a woman and her family.

Nowadays societies indeed, expect the men to can drive car or ride motorcycle because this skill considered as one skill that the men must have. Not different than in the ancient age when the men were expected to able to ride horse.

That's the reason being given?
No, that is absolutely not valid.

Why doesn't he want to drive? If it's fear, he does need to face it.
It would certainly make life a lot easier on him and his family. Without my license/car I'd be absolutely lost wallahe.
Though, it's not essential for his marriage, for sure.

I feel the two are a separate matter. The parents should not prevent the marriage.

About driving. I am of the opinion that there are already too many 'untrained' drivers on the road (especially in developing countries), and it is like having a licence to kill. If a person is not comfortable to drive, or not confident, he should not be forced. It is inconvenient but safer for others.

Some people just cannot drive. I have experienced this in the the conducting of 'defensive driving classes and riding clinics. Unfortunately, it is almost a must to have a licence for convenience sake.

 

[Abdullahh]

I think everyone should learn to drive and own a vehicle. However, some people don't. Those people take public transportation and/or get rides from people. Driving is not ​required. It's a choice.

Exactly , you will be lost and is this a valid reason for marriage being forbidden ?. I know husbands are expected to drive wives around in this age and are embarassment to their families if they hire private and public transport

[Umm Abed]

Is he ever going to learn how to drive?

But no its not a valid reason to prevent him from getting married.
