  • Have a problem with my sister

Hi,
I have a problem with sister who is 2 years younger to me but refusing to take responsibility.She fell in love with a guy but they broke up.She was doing this secretly until i found out and asked her about it.
I had ask her about it because she refused to get up in the morning not go to job. I asked her to take responsiblity and asked to get her out of my house. She stayed in hostel but she is creating problems for me thru my father.She is using my father to get to me. I am asking my father to take a decision to choose her or me. Legally either to stay with me or her.She pretend to be sick or suffering from mental health which most doctors diagnosed her ,say she is very well. She is just vengeful against that guy and me.I want to get rid of her and also my father ,if he is too weak to take a decision.I have lot of money and energy on her and i am not ready for any more responsibility...so i need legal advise how to proceed further.

Hello,

Legally you are not responsible to take care of your sister, since she is a major and her father is alive.

You can give a publication in the newspaper and the gazette that you do not have nay relation with the girl and father and that you will not be responsible for any act on their part.

If this house belonged to your father than you cannot ask your sister to get out of the house.

She is unmarried and she has full rights to live in that house which belongs to your father.

In fact it is you who is not dependent anymore on your father hence he may ask you to get tout of his house legally.

If you do not want to undertake any responsibility on your sister, nobody will compel you to do it and even legally you do not have own the responsibility.

You cannot indulge in violent activities against her or can interfere in personal life or affairs.

These days laws are very strict and women biased, hence a complaint by her with the women police may create problems for you and your employment hence better remain away from her as a precaution.

It is your father responsibility to maintain his daughter till her marriage

You can shift to another flat and stay with your family in said premises

It is not necessary that you maintain contact with her

Just snap all the ties from your sister and father.

There's nothing that they can claim legally from you, except the fact that if your father is dependent upon you for his financial needs, he can seek maintenance from you.

1) please take your sister to counselor, he/she counsel her very well and support your sister and father as well.

2) Here is legal advise that each human has his own right to live, so in this way you also have own right to live. But one has his own responsibility to take care of won family and its members.

In law, he cannot be prevented to be in touch with his daughter. If there are any disputes with respect to his property or finance, that can be dealt with in accordance with law.

Whether or not your father snaps his ties with your sister will be is independent decision, and you can only influence him but not compel him to do the needful in tune with your thoughts.

When it comes to you, there's no legal impediment and you can immediately disassociate yourself completely from your sister without facing any legal consequences.

You can not impose such a condition that your father should not contact his second daughter

For father both daughters are equal

Get your sister married that is best option

It is your problem that you could not get proper opinion since you did not furnish proper details while posting this query.

Again there is no compulsion on you to take care of your sister.

She has no rights to ask you to take care of her but she can very well demand the same from your father.

As per section 125 cr.p.c. she can demand maintenance from your fatter and she can also claim residential rights from your father since she is unmarried.

You can disown the responsibility as you are not legally bond to maintain her.

If you want to take care of your father it is up to you there is no compulsion on you even for that except if your father is not able to sustain himself with meager or no income and if you are employed and earning a good income through salary.

1. Your problem, as it appears, is that you 2 years younger sister is not listening to you and is living a disciplined and responsible life which is not liked by you for which you have asked her to leave your house and she is not living in a hostel.

2. It might be that she is under psychological stress due to her failed affair for which she is behaving in such weird way.

3. It also appears that you want to surgically dissect your said sister from you terminating all relationship refusing to accept her psychological stress which may not be treated as a very prudent decision.

4. A little more time and compassion from the near and dears of your sister might bring her back to normalcy.

5. A counselling course for her might be a good option to seek remedy and relief for you.

6. However, legally you are at liberty to stay away from your said sister but as per law you shall have to maintain your father.

Hi,

The problem created is your sister and father is helpless.

Frankly speaking you have no responsibility towords your sister legally and if you withdraw your self to help her no one can force you.

But of course you have responsibility towords your father legally even if he is dependent on you even if he doesn't have any property to pass to you.

You need to take a decision in this regard that what you want to do and how.

This is your wish to proceed further in future. No one can tell you the way in which you should live.

There is no legal bar to it.

And yes when you pay 5 lakhs get the affidavit attested by your father staying everything.

You don't need a legislation to avoid her you can do it directly. There is no law which can change people's mind. You get inform the same to her by a legal notice at the most.

1. Whose house is it? If you are the owner of the house then you may file a civil suit for eviction against your sister. This is the only remedy in your hands.

2. If, however, your sister has already left the house but you want her to not to enter it again or communicate with you in any manner then a suit for permanent injunction can be filed against her in the civil court.
