Can I claim my mom even my dad is filling jointly (but not claiming her as a dependent)?

My tax return was rejected with this reject code IND-512-01 

Description of error: Each Dependent's SSN (or Qualifying Child Identifying Number on Form 1040SS(PR)) on this return must not match the Spouse SSN on another return. 

I’m claiming my mom as a dependent. However, my dad e-filed his tax (jointly with my mom) but he didn’t claim my mom as a dependent. Would it be okay for me to mail the tax papers since it got rejected? Or this is something that I can’t do?
