Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I am a young man, seventeen years old. May I ask my father to marry me? Is he obligated to do so?
Answer:
If you have no money and you are living with your father, and you are in need of marriage, he is obligated to do so, because this is part of financial maintenance. But if you have a salary and you are able to marry, your father is not obligated to marry you off. Marry with what you earn. Yes.
