My Father Threatens to Kick Me Out – Is This Allowed in Islam?
Assalamu alaikum, I need advice. Is it haram for a parent to threaten to throw their child out of the home? I'm an 18-year-old girl in college, and I can't support myself financially. My father does this often. When I was younger, my mother sometimes locked me outside as punishment too. But they never treat my brother this way, even when he vapes at school multiple times. Once, I wore a fully modest outfit-dress pants and a long-sleeve shirt tucked in-but because I'm not skinny, it didn't look perfect on me. My father told me to change. I didn't argue; I just turned around to go change. He started yelling, saying I never take his good advice, and that if I showed attitude again, he'd kick me out. I swear I said nothing-he didn't like how I turned. Another time, I accidentally spilled water on him, and he threw the rest in my face, made me clean it, then took away my electronics for weeks. I had no contact with friends. My brother never faces this. Even after vaping, he has a TV in his room. I'm scared about the future. In the past, some men have pushed, kicked, and insulted me. I wonder, is this what most men are like? How can I avoid marrying someone like that? Most of the time, I'm treated well-I have a nice home, clothes, food-so maybe I'm the problem. Jazakallah khair for listening.
