My daughter refuses marriage on the grounds of completing her university studies; should I be patient with her, or what should I do?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If my daughter refuses to marry the one who proposed to her, claiming that she wants to complete her university studies, and she refuses marriage entirely, should I force her to marry, or should I be patient with her in this matter?

Answer:
Be patient with her, but you must monitor her and protect her from violations or from falling into [trouble], because trials are numerous now. So you monitor her and protect her until she completes her studies, as she says. However, it is better for her and more beneficial for her to accept the marriage and not prevent it. Marriage does not prevent study. She should stipulate to her husband that he allows her to study, and the problem is resolved by this. She stipulates that she completes her studies, and there will be no issue. Yes.
