What is the ruling on marrying without the father's knowledge or consent?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the young men wants to marry without his father's knowledge. Is this permissible?

Answer:
There is no obstacle if his father is preventing him from marrying. However, if the marriage is to a woman his father does not approve of, he should not rush, and he should seek a woman his father approves of. As for if his father does not want him to remain chaste, there is no harm in him marrying even if his father does not know, so that he may guard his chastity.
