To Obey Or Not To Obey: Parents

ARE PARENTS ALLOWED TO DAME THEIR CHILDERN IF THEY REFUSE?????
Assalam walaikum
firstly before rejecting or accepting a proposal of marriage, i wud have made swalaat-ul-istiharaa.
and i guess that u wanted to say blame or ****, no they aren't allowed, since its your right to refuse!!!

:sl:

i hope ur in the best of health. i cant recommend anyfi, but i can saythat try and speak to ur parents. thats the best way. you need to be able to see this man or find out things abt him. it must be hard, we all seek for the best spouse in our hearts and inshallah, may Allah SWT will.
Your parents cant force u into a marriage, so communication is the best way.
anyfin regarding marriage is scary but an important step in your life, so u must communicate. Pray to Allah SWT, ask for his help, guidance inshallah he will answer you . dont be silent, pray istikhara, it might help. i wont say dont worri, because for anyone in that situation u would, but remember things happen for a reason, iam nt saying that he is the rite man for u, as Allah SWT knows best, inshallah he will do best.

i hope Allah tala helps you in this situation, and gives us sisters all good muslim spouses.Inshallah.Ameen

Best wishes,
Allah hafiz

Salams

typical prob.

In islam you have a right to say no, and also to choose who you marry, and accoridng to Imam A. Hanifa a girl can marry herself (ie. her guardian does not have to know or be there, although this is not the best thing to do.)


Also think about why y don't wanna marry him, is there a fault in him or just becasue you dad chose him, sometimes we think that we can make better decisions but trust me often (and in mt experiece) parents turn out to be right.
Obedeicne to parents is an extension to obeying our Lord. There is gurantee how your marriage lifwe will be but even if you chose someone the case will be the same.

someone suggested that exchange letters and find out stuff about him-but in isalm you are allowed to talk and see the person once to see if you wanna marry them, okay a few more times if absolutly necessary but if you start taking this route where will put the limit?

my advice is that if the brother is religious and pious then say yes otherwise try to explain to your parents and make them realise this way you won't necessarly be disobeying them. nut if hes practising then go for it, even if you don't like him now. Love grows slowll and comes from Allah. at the time of the nikah He puts love in our heatrs for each other.

My parents found this guy for me. I did not qurstion it and wenty along with it. at first i thought i'd hate him and perhaps did nut now i'm begining to like the idea and soon were gonna get marreid.

make duaa it works out
 
If you really don't want to marry him, you shouldn't have to. Your parents should not be forcing you.

At the same time, though, no one knows you better than your parents, so they may have picked the guy out with this in mind. Will you have a chance to meet him before your parents are planning for you to marry him? If so, take some time to get to know him. Who knows, you might find you like him.
 
^ Could some parents perhaps have other priorities than the compatibilityof their daughter and the future husband?
Such as financial benefits, family connections etc ...

I'm not suggesting that it would be right, but I expect that does happen in some cases ...
