SHOULD PARENTS HAVE A SAY?

John's father has issued an ultimatum to the Winslow family. If the trial continues he will do everything he can to prevent the match (marriage). He will cut John off from his allowance which will make it near impossible to live and support himself and Catherine.

John expects Catherine to accept his father's demands and end the fight for a trial for the case. Is he wrong? Do you think he is right to demand this? Do you think Catherine should understand his situation? Should she quit the case for love? Should John marry her without the allowance? What do you think is the right thing to do? 

AND consider this. You are madly in love with someone your parents don't like. They threaten to not pay for you to go to university if you continue with the relationship. What would you do? Be as honest and reasonable as possible. Explain your decision.
