Married 2 years ago without my parents’ consent, but nikah was done with a maulvi and my in-laws present. Husband is religious and respectful. Parents still disapprove due to family/status. What should I do?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You should keep on trying to gain your parents (mainly your father's) approval as much as you can. Nice behaviour and serving your parents might make have an impact on them.

In a temporary marriage with a married man, should I meet his sexual demands even though I haven't received my agreed-upon dowry? Is it fair that he only spends about 3 hours a week with me because of his responsibilities to his first wife and children?
Amina Inloes

Since temporary marriage does not have a fixed paradigm for how people live it out in daily life, you have to decide what is fair for you. As a wise person once said, if you have to ask the question, you already know the answer. 
Are there any Mujtahids who allow an independent virgin woman to marry without her father's permission?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Virgin girl does require in her marriage the permission of her father or her paternal grand father. If father and the paternal grand father refuse proposal of marriage with out valid Islamic reason when the proposal is from a Kof’ (Compatible believer) and the girl needs to marry to save herself from sin, then the condition of the father’s permission or paternal grand father’s permission will not remain. That is when the refusal of the father or his father is not based on a valid Islamic rules.

If a Sayyeda girl commits Zina with a non-Syed boy and repents, can they marry later? Are Sayyeds considered superior in Islam or do they have different Sharia laws?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

Yes, she can marry. Why should she not be able to marry. She did haram, and repented. None of this has anything to do with her being a Seyyidah, and we all know that Islam does not give superiority to any race or group of people or person. The only person that is better than others is he/she with better piety.

And Allah knows best
