Question:
One of them says: If my father compels me and says, "You will not enter my house if you do not propose to so-and-so, the daughter of so-and-so"?
Answer:
If she is not suitable for him, he is not obligated to obey him:Sunan Abi Dawud 2625Sahih (Al-Albani), he is not obligated to obey him except in what is good. If she is suitable, he should obey his father. If she is not suitable, whether due to her lack of beauty or her bad religion, he is not obligated to obey his father. Marriage is not easy, and its matter is great.

A: If he marries her for the sake of his father, may Allah reward him with good.
Q: Meaning: he should be patient?
A: Yes, he should be patient, perhaps Allah will bring them together: [al-Nisa:19]. He may marry her while he is averse to it, and then Allah will bring them together.
