father is bound to maintain his sons until they attain puberty and his daughters

“I may here refer to Mahommedan Law by Ameer Ali, 5th Edition, at page 1367 wherein it is observed that “marriage does not necessarily absolve the father from the obligation of maintaining his daughter.” Again Asaf A.A. Fyzee in his book ‘Outline of Muhammadan Law’ (IVth Edition) at page 214, states that a “father is bound to maintain his sons until they attain puberty and his daughters until they are married. He is also responsible for the upkeep of his widowed or divorced daughter.”
