marriage

hi my daughter ran away to marry her boyfriend, she is 25. i don't want her to get married to him but due to her age i know i can't say anything in this matter. my problem is that when she left she has taken Rs 50,000 from our safe. can i file a case against her.

we are highly discouraged by her actions, as we have spent about Rs 500000 on her college education. she is working now, can i file a case against her to return our money back.

Sir,

I am in your favour to file a complaint and take all appropriate action against your daughter. If for a boy friend she is ready to forget all efforts and hardwork of her parents and leave them alone to suffer and face embarassement , then such a child deserve no forgiveness and require punishment.

Do file a complaint of theft against her, and expung her name from your property. She must get a good lesson for betraying her own parents.

It is correct that you may file a case against your daughter, a criminal one for have stolen the cash and further a civil for recovery of the amount. Knowing that she is your daughter and has decided to marry a young man of her choice, you may like to think before you take such drastic step.

Re: marriage

if the person for whom she has left you is bad element then only file such case otherwise leave it. infact call her and get her married and settled as per her wish.

you are still saving a lot which you might have spent on her marriage.

however legally you can file a case of theft against ur daughter, if you want.

You can claim back Rs.50000/- which she has taken from your safe by filing the case. You may also lodged the police report in this regards.

You have no right of any kind to ask your daughter to return Rs.5ooooo which you have spent on her education as it is the moral and legal binding of the parents to bear all expenses of their children of their day to day affair and also of education.

Sir/Madam

She is your own daughter isn't she. Do you think that by filing a criminal complaint agst her you will teach her a lesson or will you feel any good about it?

Yes you can file a complaint agst her but will it suffice your purpose.

Be kind to your daughter, let her herself realise that she did a mistake.

Imagine a situation that she is beaten up by her husband/boyfrend and she is severly hurt. She comes to you what will you do? Wont you take her back.

But if you have filed a complaint agst her will she come back?

She is your own daughter wish her happyness and bless her. Just think that you have made her a good independent person.
