Question
Her father will not let her get married on the grounds that she should complete her education
Answer
Praise be to Allah.
Undoubtedly your father’s preventing you from getting married
to someone compatible is haraam. Marriage is more important than study, and
it does not rule out study because it is possible to do both.
In your situation it is permissible for you to contact the
sharee’ah court and tell them what has happened, then after that the final
decision is up to the court. End quote.

him).
