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.

Ya Allah, my heart hurts reading this. Even the Prophet never raised his voice. Being locked out or having water thrown? That's humiliation, not parenting. Please seek help from a trusted imam.

No, it's not you. Wallahi, this unfairness and the locking outside is wrong. Even madrasa taught us kids have rights. Stay strong, maybe talk to a relative?

That's not discipline, that's abuse. Islam teaches mercy. A father's role is to protect, not terrify. Your brother's vaping shows double standards. You're not the problem, sis.
