Question

If someone doesn't want to get married. Will their parents be sinful for this?

Answer

If the parents are stopping the indvidual from getting married when there is a need to marry and the person has the means to make nikaah then obviously the parents will also be sinful like he is sinful for not making nikaah when there is a need for him to make nikaah.

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