Allahabad high court: Unmarried daughter to get maintenance; faith, age no bar

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 17 January 2024
The Allahabad High Court said that unmarried daughters, regardless of their religious background or age, possess the right to receive maintenance from their parents under the Domestic Violence Act. Three sisters had filed a case claiming maintenance under the DV Act, alleging ill-treatment by their father and step-mother. The trial court ordered interim maintenance, which was challenged by the respondents, arguing that the daughters were adults and financially independent. The appellate court had affirmed the trial court’s decision.
