If a mother tells her son, “Marry so-and-so,” and he agrees out of obedience to his mother, is this coercion?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : For example, he makes a woman his wife, so it is not out of love for the woman, but out of obedience to his mother.

Answer : This is not coercion. It is not coercion unless she takes a knife and says, “Either you do it, or I will kill you.” But if she merely says, “Either you do it, or I will be angry with you,” for example, that is not coercion.
