The supreme court on thursday said that if the daughter does not have any kind of relationship with her father, then she is not even entitled to demand any expenses from her father. A bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and MM Sundaresh made this observation while awarding a divorce verdict to a couple. After the divorce, the apex court has directed the husband to deposit a cost of Rs 10 lakh as a full and final settlement of all claims.

After the divorce, an order was given to deposit the cost of Rs 10 lakh. This amount is to be deposited in the court within two months which will be released to the separated wife. The supreme court clarified that if the amount is not demanded within one month from the date of deposit, it will be kept in the FDR for a period of 91 days, which will continue to be renewed.
The supreme court, while pronouncing the divorce law, also observed that as far as the education and marriage expenses of the daughter are concerned, from her point of view, it appears that she does not want to have any relation with her father and she is about 20 years of age. In such a situation, she is entitled to choose her path, but in such a situation, she cannot demand expenses for education and marriage from her father.
The bench said that we are of the view that the daughter is not entitled to any amount, but while determining the amount to be paid as permanent maintenance if the father wants to support his daughter, he can provide the fund.
