Parents

A parent is a caregiver of the offspring in their own species. In humans, a parent is the caretaker of a child (where "child" refers to offspring, not necessarily age). A biological parent is a person whose gamete resulted in a child, a male through the sperm, and a female through the ovum.

Milk daughter is not allowed to marry with her milk father nor her milk brother, but she does not have a share in inheritance like a real daughter unless by a will and within the limit of the one third. As she is living with your family due to her mothers passing away, you and all your family members should give her all moral support and look after her in every possible way. 
Wassalam.

Hijab adds on the dignity of the female.

'Hijab adds on her respect and security as she will be known as a modest and pious person protected by Hijab, then bad men will not target her as they target other females.

'Hijab has been practiced in all religions and cultures by pious females like St Mary and all her followers from the females.

'Hijab is the dress ordered by The Creator of life, Who Knows what is good for man and woman.

Hijab is a way to achieve peace of mind and self respect and tranquility.

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.

We can not force others to stop doing wrong. We should try our best to make them stop harming the animals, but we can not force them. After trying our best, we will not be responsible of what others do.

Your parents cannot force you to marry anyone. Islamically, it will not be a valid nikah marriage as well. 

If they are threatening you with such things like not funding your education, then let it be, but you should not give in to marrying someone you do not wish to marry. 

Speak to an elder in your family, or your local scholar, so they are able to address this with your parents, as long as you are safe. If you feel unsafe, then you must make measures to secure your safety. 

This kind of behaviour from parents is completely unacceptable, oppressive, and anyone around you who knows of it must help you.

With prayers for your success.

If the rejection of the girl is not based in a valid reason in Islam, and the girl needs the marriage to save herself from falling in to sin, she will be then allowed to get married to a suitable Momin man whom she trusts in his faith and morals.

In lot of cases, parents have certain standards and expectations for their children, in which at times are different to the child, and I strongly believe parents should support their son/daughter in the field they are passionate in and interested in pursuing, and should encourage, as long as it is halal, honourable and ambitious. 

If it is causing you distress, and you do not think you can pursue it, then be frank with them, and try to convince them of your area of interest. In shaa Allah they will understand you and support you. 

The important thing is you always try to make yourself and your family proud, in being a high achiever. 

With prayers for your success

It is very unfortunate that your wife is holding onto a grudge, especially towards her parent-in-laws, which is not good and will affect her relationship with you as well. Whatever happened, and if they were right or wrong, both sides should think greater than that and focus on building good ties with each other. 

Her demanding you to cut ties is also very unethical and haram as well, and you must not accomodate to that as well. 
She must learn to forgive and forget, and respect elders, and forcing someone to cut ties with parents is gravely wrong and a major sin.

And Allah knows best.

It is absolutely forbidden in Islam to cut ties with your parents and this sin is one of the most dangerous major sins which has disastrous results in this life and hereafter. Never listen to any one who tell you to be away from your parents because this is what Shaitan wants you to do in order to be with Shaitan against Allah and against your parents. Whatever your parents did or still do which you don't like, you must be very nice to them even if they were unbelievers.

It compulsory to compensate such behaviour to be sure to avoid the bad results of it in this life and hereafter. Bad deeds must be countered by very good deeds as we read in Quran ( Surely, good deeds remove away the bad deeds)( Sura Hood;114).

1. If your parents are alive, you must serve them with out letting them ask you and fulfill their needs and wishes as much as you can to make them really feel that you are compensating your misbehaviour.

2. If they are not alive, you must do maximum good deeds and gift it to them like getting their religious debts performed e.g. missed prayers, fast, Khums, Hajj or any other debt they had. Above that to give Charity on their behalf or recite Quran or Du'a, Majlis, Ziyarat, Hajj and Umra.

3. Visiting them if they are alive or their graves as it is like visiting them and it makes them happy.

4. Praying for them every day and night especially during and after all your prayers.

Wassalam.
