Disobeying one's parents by not marrying the person of their choice

Q: Are you sinning if you disobey your parents if you refuse to marry who they want you to?

A: It is not a sin, but it is the good fortune of the child to obey, respect and keep his parents happy at all times.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
