Fatwa #189117 January 2001United Kingdom

I was forced/pressured in to marriage by my parent's. Will my parents be punished in the afterlife for this, as I am still unhappy with my marriage?

Answer

Allah Ta'ala will deal with each and every person according to his/her
intention. Generally parents, being motivated by the love of their children,
guide them towards that which is best for them. If their guidance was
incorrect, it will be regarded as a sincere mistake.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
