> The problem is whether my parents will agree or not.

This would be fine in speech, but in writing, one of these would be better:

The problem is that my parents might not agree.
The question is whether my parents will agree.
The question is whether my parents will agree or not.

I agree with you. But since you agree that it is fine in speech, and the sentence was part of the Tanaka Corpus, I hesitate to change it. Feel free to add any tag that would make the sentence more agreeable to you.
