Do the parents have a right to intervene in their children's lives?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister Umm 'Abdullah says: Shaykh, do the father or the mother have the right to intervene in their children's affairs, specifically in the son's or young man's marital life? And what is the Shaykh's advice to the parents?

Answer:
If the child is a minor and does not know how to manage his own affairs, then the parents intervene to protect his wealth and his interests. However, if the child has reached the age of maturity and knows how to manage his affairs, he is independent in his own affairs. Yes.
