  1. Dear

    Your problems are very simple give your self time and your father means well.

    His marriage is not haram and i knows things are a bit rough but there is always a way.

    You need to consider your future. Nowadays education is very important to survive in this world if you are not well off from your background.

    Your father means well. He is thinking about your future. I would like to request you to listen to your parents because they mean well. If you are not interested in your mothers friend son proposal then tell that to them. I am sure they wont force you.

    You are young and educated and doing a job so i am sure you understand your fathers point of his not being qualified for you.

    If he is calling you abroad then kindly go. God has better plans for you there.

    • Manis, if you read her post again you will see that the man's family is well off. He obviously has the means to support this sister. So I don't see how your reply fits the situation.

  2. Assalamualaykum Sister,

    You write that the brother approached you for marriage. This was unfortunately not the correct approach. He needs to go to your Wali, your father, directly, and ask for your hand in marriage. Maybe if given time, your father will see how much this brother means to you, and will loosen up about him not having completed his MBA. After all, he is still successful in running a business even without a degree. A degree isn't everything. Keep in touch with your father, have conversations with him, and let him know how much this brother means to you. Inshallah he will come around with time. Don't expect immediate change, however. It could take a few years.

    Best,

    Nor
