As an only son, what are my responsibilities towards my parents? Are a son's responsibilities any different to those of a daughter? What are my responsibilities towards my parents in relation to those towards my wife and children?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Your responsibility is to look after your parents and serve them as a humble servant and try your best to please them and obey their orders in lawful matters. Your responsibility as their only son is more than the responsibility of your sister. Doing your best and serving your parents does not mean that you ignore the rights of your wife. Her rights on you remain preserved, although there should not be any contradiction between complete service to your parents and fulfilling the rights of your wife, but never do anything which can harm the feelings of your parents. They are your gate to paradise and eternal success

What are the reasons, apart from religious or moral criteria, that parents can use to reject a marriage of their son with a divorced woman who has a baby? And what is the obligation on the son to obey their decision?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Matured man is allowed to marry the female whom he chooses if she is suitable as far as her religion and morals. Man does need permission of his parents in marriage unlike virgin girl who definitely needs permission from her father or paternal grand father.

keeping the respect of the parents is essential.

Wassalam.
