Q: I have been staying with my parents and presently I am at the age of 36 unmarried female. During my childhood days I was facing troubles from a Hindu guy whom my father had taken debts..my parents asked me to tolerate the trouble of that guy just because they are under indebtedness. As of now they never asked me about my marriage nor searched alliances for me.. If I ask something they stop talking to me or behave rudely with me.. However, I have been tolerating it.. My question is as of today my two sisters are married and one of our brother-in-law he tries to seduce or grab my younger sisters and takes undue advantage of them. If they complain my parents especially mother asks them not to tell it to anybody fearing reputation and respect of the family.. Till what age they have to face this.. And my father he never listens to our problems.. Sometimes he listens to half of the issues and reacts without a second thought.. He stops talking with us… What we have to do.. We are helpless from all ends..
A: I don’t see the reason for you to complain. If anybody is making advances then shout and scream against him and run away.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
