Both the parents are liable to maintain a girl child until her marriage and they are bound to pay her maintenance and educational expenses. “However, there may be cases where a daughter or a son, even after having attained majority, may not have sufficient financial capacity to maintain themselves and they continue to need the support of their father... These are real-life situations. In such cases parents are bound to maintain children.

Hi,
As she is major she can do as per her wish but is she complete her studies and what happened to parents of her mother she can live with them if they are alive. She can claim maintenance from father until she marry.
