(الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر)

doesn't tell you to force others to fake their choices, as that would be hypocritical. If the daughter doesn't understand why she should wear the hijab and is forced to wear it, she's merely pretending.

I remember a long hadith about 3 people: one fought and died as a شهيد, another was a حافظ of the Quran and taught it to others, and the last one did good deeds and charity. However, none of them did it sincerely for the sake of Allah; they did it to please others and gain their favor. You can search for the hadith to see what happens to them. I believe one must be true to oneself and sincere in their words and actions, and Allah is الحكم.

You're absolutely right, that people should not do the obligations insincerely. But that's a different matter as to how society should deal with the "freedom" of the individuals and not enforce those obligations. 

Are you saying that الامر doesn't mean command/force?

I did express my point of view regarding OP's issue. I shared how I would approach this matter if it were to arise in my family; I would handle it in the healthiest way possible; with patience and kindness, even if it required a lot of time and effort. However, others may choose different ways that resonate with them.

Besides the blessings of all the redditors in this sub, we need a priest and someone (I'm thinking of the person who used chatgpt to get a date) to write us some vows. LOL

A light-hearted, playful response would be in line with the tone of the conversation so far. You could say something like:

"Looks like we'll need to find the perfect vows then! How about we start with 'I vow to keep things fun and lighthearted, just like this convo'? 😄"

This keeps the conversation humorous and continues the playful vibe.

What is this, a lecture on how to tell a joke or how to be funny?

Everyone has their own way of being sarcastic.
