A father requesting marriage to a specific woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My father is asking me to marry a specific woman, and I do not want to marry her. Will I be undutiful to him if I disobey him in this?

Answer:
No, you are not undutiful to him in this, because this is your right, and he has no right to force you to marry a woman you do not want. This is not the right of the father. Marriage is your right; you do not marry except a woman you desire. So if you refuse, this is your right, and you are not undutiful to him.
