Supreme Court rules a Daughter who is not interested in
maintaining a relationship with her father, is not entitled to any money
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has held that a daughter who is
not willing to maintain any relationship with her father, is not entitled to
any money either for education or marriage. A bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan
Kaul and M.M. Sundresh said: "In so far as the daughter's expenses for education
and marriage are concerned, it appears from her approach that she does not want
to maintain any relationship with the appellant and is about 20 years of
age."
"She is entitled to choose her own path but then cannot
demand from the appellant the amount towards the education. We, thus, hold that
the daughter is not entitled to any amount." The top court order came on a
divorce plea filed by the husband and turned down by the Punjab and Haryana
High Court.
