Re: ignorance from parents hadicaped girl

No Aarti, you should not even think of being a dependent upon your father at this age.

you are 27, Electrical Engineer, thus adult and a highly educated person; without knowing your father's education and financial background, it is sufficient to conclude on the basis of your educatino that you are self dependent person.

It is a matter of great pride that despite severe handicap you could study upto that level. You are role model for the world. Please use your own strength to build up your life.

In law, a dependent/invalid child is entitled to claim maintenance from father if the child is unable to support himself/herself.

You are a dependent or invalid child who would need father's money or support in life.

Congratulations and wish you good luck.!

If you consider going abroad for higher studies, there are lot of avenues available for you as it is possible to invoke provisions for scholarships in several good universities in the world including USA.
