Father claiming daughter's salary
1 year ago
I am an unmarried daughter belonging to the Hindu Maheshwari family. My father is stating that he has a de-facto right over everything that I have earned before my marriage and is demanding that I transfer all the money to my parents before marriage. He is also demanding paybacks for what he spent on my education till my undergrad and food and other expenses, which I feel is an inflated figure in his calculations but neither of us has any proof for the actual expenses. Does he have any legal stand? What are my legal obligations towards my parents, apart from maintenance which can be a max of 10K/month?
A.In my legal suggestion, as far as the spending on education and everything is concerned, it is the duty of the parents to do so. Thus, there are no legal grounds.
