Protection from abuse and disownment


09-Feb-2023 (In Family Law)
My sister is 30 years old and still lives with us, she is perfectly fine both physically and mentally but neither holds a job nor does any work at home. She spends all day on her phone or doing makeup. She ask my parents for thousands of rupees for all her wants and yet she's made life hell for them by making false accusations and blackmailing them by shouting in the house, or making a huge show just because they are afraid of losing their respect and she uses it for leverage. As they have asked me to consult someone, my question is do they still have to provide for her maintanence? What rights protect them from being used in such a way and what are the laws related to disownment and being free from this noose that she puts around their necks. My parents have developed various health issues including anxiety and even heart related issues due to all of this stress. So i want genuine help to save their lives.

hello As the matter discussed by you about your sister behaviour towards parents which very rude and cruel, in this matter your parents can do different legal action against her, either they can disowns her or can take criminal action against her. As per the details given by you, your sister is adult and physically and mentally fit then she have no right for any maintenance from your parents. For legal help and detailed guidance in this matter you can contact with me. Adv Jitender Singh

Once your children come of age, you are free to disown them.  A parent can financially and emotionally cut off his own children with legal impunity.  The children have the same right, but since the parents are usually richer and die sooner, children are largely limited to cutting the emotional cord.  People are just as free to disown more distant relatives, friends, and romantic partners.

Hi, Your parent can reach out court and separate her if they wish to.. your parents are not liable to provide maintenance to your sister. There are certain procedural work to be done.. You can reach me out for a resolution.
