However, the  parents demand from his son to divorce her? Is it necessary to fulfil  their demand? Can we also request them not to slander her?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>If you find no just reason for such a demand,  then you should courteously refuse to do so. Our duty to our parents is  to respect and honour them, and respect their right opinions. The basic  principle is justice. So, an unjust demand regarding one\u2019s wife will  have no weight. Oppression, either on part of the parents or spouse is  unacceptable. The Qur\u2019an clearly commands us to take a stand against our  parents and relatives for justice. It is absolutely unreasonable to  divorce one\u2019s God fearing spouse just for somebody\u2019s pleasure. It is  definitely not disobedience of parents. Again, subservience to the  Almighty overrules all other authorities. We are not obliged to observe  any order contradictory to the Divine commands. Oppression of any sort  is unacceptable. Obedience to Allah takes precedence over obedience to  parents. Neither the spouse nor the parents have a priority over the  other. The defining principle is justice.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>This question was answered by Mr Ghamidi in  Deen-o-Danish, an online TV session hosted by Dr Muneer Ahmad aired on  Dunay TV.
