Is it right for the father to deny a grown daughter (20) to not go out alone anywhere?

Is it right for the father to deny the daughter to go university after A-levels considering even the A-levels were hard fought for in the first place.

My dad has stopped me from working, having my own friends, to doing anything that is even remotely normal. He barges into my room at all hours of the day and night without a consideration for the fact that I am a not a child. He checks through my letters, anything I may be holding in my hand...goes through my drawers etc etc...

Is this correct?

If a father threatens to sever all contact if I chose to listen to my mum, what can I do?

if a father forces the daughter to stay home and cook and not be allowed out, is this correct? What can I do that won't be wrong?

controlling behaviour:
makes us vote accoridng to his belief
makes us wear clothes that r extreme.
no work/no going out/no muslim friends / no helping neighbours.
accuses mum of cheating every minute.

I have said a few times to him that I don't believe in God anymore, I don't think there is any such thing as Islam. This is not what I believe but this is what I had hoped would shock him into changing himself.

We have prayed and read and made dua and done all that is possible for 20 plus years, yet our trails and suffering are not over, why would an all loving Allah not intervene by this point. If he isn't intervening, can I?

People are advising me that I should leave and build my own life but is this really what I should do?

Your father has certain rights over you and you also have certain rights which your father should not take away.

Your father is right in some aspects, but in others he is not right.

I would recommend reading books on women's rights in Islam and see where you stand.

Some of the things you mention will go contrary to the teachings of Islam from both of you, so I would highly recommend studying the seems and making contact with Ulama.

Quote:
3. Allah, out of His infinite wisdom, has taught, that woman should remain within their home as far as possible and if they require to go out then they could do so provided they adopt the Hijaab and Pardah. This guideline does not mean that women are not alowed to leave their homes at all. Rather, all it means, is that a woman should remain with the confines of her home and should not leave the home unnecessarilly. If she is to leave the home due to some necessity, she is required to don the hijaab for her own benefit and that of the community at large. [/quote]

Re: Going out

[quote]With respect to a marriage and family life, Islam has taught us that for all practical purposes, the husband is the head of the family. He is responsible to steer and guide the family towards the fulfillment of the teachings of the Shariah without breaking it apart and to maintain the family in as far as their Worldly requirements are concerned. This is a huge responsibility that husbands have upon their shoulders. Together with this responsibility, the rest of the family is required to assist the husband/father in fulfilling his responsibility by co-operating with him and obeying his commands. This does not mean that the husband should behave like a dictator. Rather, the husband is required to go about his duties in an affectionate manner and through consultation with the rest of the family. However, once the husband has made a decision which should not be against the Shariah and is not unreasonable as well, then the rest of the family should fulfill this request of the husband/father which would Inshallah be for the greater benefit of the family. Notwithstanding this, if the family has a different opinion in certain matters, these should be raised with love and respect and the husband, too is required to consider these respects.
