Boy’s father disagrees to our marriage

Is it right to listen to a man that has always been brutal to the women around him? He destroyed his first wife’s life, and she almost committed suicide twice. My boyfriend’s father uses religion as an excuse to break families- including his own. He has even brainwashed the older brother who is on drugs to talk ill about me. My boyfriend told me yet again that he has to sacrifice for his father, and he will.
