I Seek Islamic Guidance Regarding A Family Matter
Our 20-year-old adult son entered into a nikāḥ without informing or consulting his parents or siblings. The marriage was conducted in a mosque in a non-Muslim country, and no prior notice or invitation was given to us as his parents.
The bride, 18 years old, was previously non-Muslim and accepted Islam approximately six months before the nikāḥ, after which the marriage was solemnised.
The mother wishes to accept the marriage, maintain contact with her son, and continue to guide and support him. However, the father feels deeply hurt and has stated that if the mother maintains contact with the son, he will leave her or issue ṭalāq. The parents also have two young daughters, and the mother is concerned about the emotional and family impact on them.
It should also be noted that the father was harsh toward the son in the past as he is angry man, which led the son to leave the family home. While the father maintains a good relationship with his wife and daughters, the relationship with the son remains broken. The son believes his nikāḥ was Islamically valid and is unwilling to apologize.

Marriage is essentially a personal matter between a man and a woman. The family is supposed to facilitate them in this matter. They have no authority to claim the invalidity of a marriage without their consent. However, social harmony should not be ignored. without a valid reason.
The father should not cut off ties with the son; he has no right to prevent his wife from keeping the contact with her son. Now the mother of the boy can decide according to her capacity and circumstances how to deal with this situation.
