Obedience to parents takes precedence over marrying a specific woman, unless the son is harmed by not marrying her, in which case there is no blame upon him for marrying her without his parents' consent.
If the parents desire their son to marry a specific woman, and she is righteous and the son accepts her, then marrying her is more preferable. However, if she is not righteous or he does not accept her, he is not obligated to obey them in marrying her.
In all circumstances, the son must show kindness and benevolence to his parents.
