Sheikh, does my elder sister have authority over me, her younger brother? Sometimes I explain to my sister that I am her brother so she must obey me, but she replies that she is my big sister and that I have no right to her. I am 24 years old and she is 29. I have two big brothers who let her do anything and my father does not act, so I try to act for her, but she pulls out this excuse.
