Father has to support daughter till marriage: HC

October 29, 2012 17:11

The Bombay High Court has held that a father is duty-bound to provide maintenance to his unmarried daughter till she enters into wedlock.

The judgement was delivered by Justice K U Chandiwal who asked a Bahrain-based man to pay maintenance to his eldest daughter even though she had attained majority.

The court overruled a family Court order which had rejected his wife's claim requiring her husband to pay maintenance to her eldest daughter who was not married and financially independent.
