Karnataka High Court Orders Father to Fund Adult Daughter’s Postgraduate Education
The Karnataka High Court ruled that an adult unmarried daughter can seek financial support from her father for postgraduate education under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The court upheld orders directing the father to pay Rs 16 lakh for her medical course fees, noting parental obligations for education and basic amenities continue beyond majority. The father’s financial capacity was confirmed, while he contested the liability, alleging harassment. The daughter secured admission through the Karnataka Examination Authority and borrowed funds to pay fees.
