you should file a civil suit before local district court for injunction order against selling of ancestral property. you have interest in the ancestral property and it cannot be sold by your father as arbitrary manner. after taking injunction order you can stop your father to sold property.

thereafter you should file a case under section 125 crpc against your father for her maintenance and marriage expense.

1. You can just dump such a father and lead your independent life. If you and your sister have attained the age of marriage i.e 21 for men and 18 for women then you are free to marry anyone you desire.

2. The assets which he inherited from his father constitute his separate property which is at par with self acquired property, which he was at liberty to alienate. You have no share in his assets.

If you are an adult and can be economically independent you need not depend on your father anymore.

you can decide to marry anyone of your choice without much fanfare and you can ignore your father's dictates to proceed with your proposal.

You cannot take any legal action against your father asking him to spare money for your marriage,

However if you remain unmarried and if your father neglects your maintenance you may approach court seeking maintenance from your father under section 125 cr.p.c.
