Is it permissible for me to marry a girl my mother does not want?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to marry a girl my mother does not want? And is that considered undutifulness to parents?

Answer:
Yes, this means there is a misunderstanding with your mother, which might anger her at you. It is best that you convince her; it is best that you convince your father in this matter. I do not think your father would object if this girl is good for you, because you are seeking your own benefit. However, if she is not good for you and your father has seen something of her character that is not suitable for you, he knows these matters better than you do, and I advise you accordingly. So, the bottom line is that you should try to reach an understanding with your mother as much as possible and convince her. Yes.
