Question
I am a Muslim girl at university. I am trapped in a love relationship with a non-Muslim boy who has now embraced Islam. We want to make halaal our two year relationship, but my parents refuse. I don't see myself abandoning the relationship. I want to get out of this haraam relationship with Nikah. Can I marry the boy without the consent of my parents?
Answer
By having allowed or compelled you to go to the educational brothel (the university), your father has forfeited his wilaayat over you. Go ahead and make halaal the relationship. Have the nikah performed, or perform it yourself. Be concerned with the Wrath of Allah Ta'ala, not with the displeasure of your parents who have cast you into the den of Iblees where your Islamic morals have become ruined. Such a father is a faasiq/faajir worse than a dayyooth and unfit to be a valid Mahram for his daughter.
