A boy and a girl at university are having a relationship.

Answer

Parents who insist on their children first completing secular studies before marriage are not concerned about the Imaan of their children. They live only for the dunya. Their outlook on life conveys the idea that whilst their lips proclaim belief in the Aakhirat, their hearts believe otherwise. The parents have cast their children into the cauldron of Zina. These fussaaq parents are the primary cause for the zina relationship which their son and daughter have struck up in the university brothel.

In the circumstances these parents have forfeited their right of guardianship. A child who is an adult and who is likely to fall into sin, has the right to marry without the consent of his parents who insist that he completes secular education at the institutions of the kuffaar, and pass the years in zina.

Zina of different degrees has become a norm in even Muslim society. There is no fear for Allah Ta'ala, hence the brains of the parents are convoluted or deranged.

If the boy and girl who find themselves in these haraam circumstances choose to marry in conflict of their parents' orders, then they should be prepared to undergo trials. It will be permissible for them to marry without parental consent in this case. The parents are prepared to promote the zina relationship. They have therefore fallen from the pedestal of guardianship.
