Question
My parents are forcing me to get married to a boy. Their criteria are wealth, good family and a degree in western education. The boy is a modernist, has no beard and morally he is lewd like all modernists. My parents say that I am disobedient to them and Allah Ta'ala will punish me for disobeying parents. What should I do?
Answer
Your parents should first think of Allah's punishment for their injustice of trying to force a Deeni-orientated girl into marriage with a lewd modernist whose very Imaan is in doubt. You have all the right to refuse this proposal. Allah Ta'ala has given you the final say in this matter. Your parents do not have the final say. Your refusal is Islamically justified. For your valid Deeni reasons, you will, Insha-Allah be rewarded. Do not cast your dunya and Aakhirat into a cauldron of misery by marrying a person whose morality is rotten and whose Imaan is in grave doubt. In this case your parents are disobedient to Allah Ta'ala.
