I have utilized my father's office computer for personal purposes, and I recently learned that using someone else's property is forbidden. What steps should I take to seek repentance for this action?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You need to inform your father and seek his pardon or pay him whatever he wants against you unauthorised use of his office computer.

Is it considered valid if a girl marries without her father's permission to avoid sin, when he refuses a proposal from a morally good and equal status believer, without valid reason, due to negative cultural thoughts about marrying a non-Syed?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

I advise you to refer to your Marje’ of Taqleed and explain to him the reasons of father’s refusal then take his advise as a Marje’ of Taqleed.

You can contact your Marje’ of Taqleed by email to telephone.

If a girl is certain that her father will reject a proposal from a pious and compatible boy due to non-Islamic cultural reasons, can they get married without informing him to avoid committing a sin?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

If she does not want to approach her father about this, she must try to find alternative ways to inform him and get his approval, like through elders, local scholars, etc. 

We must remember that in marriage, there are many surrounding factors that make it successful. One of them is harmony and blessings from parents. 

And Allah knows best
What can be done if a sister from a different background wants to marry someone who is rejected by her family based on cultural, heritage, and sectarian differences, even though the reasons are invalid due to Islamic principles?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We should support everyone especially Muslims who need our support. In this case, it is good to try to convince her family to accept the proposal.
