25-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)
Hello Sir/Madam, My father is pressurizing me to give alimony for their daily needs,25% of my salary.He is economically more strong than me.But he is not accepting and sending so much letters asking for alimony.Currently I am not in condition to give such money and truly I do not want to give him money because he is more stronger then me currently. Currently I am doing private job and working in Delhi and my father live in Deoria(Uttar Pradesh). He is threatening me continuously for the alimony and said Indian law has this facility to give alimony to father. Is there any such type of law?What can I do in this?
