Who said there are no forces. I have already given a brief account of forces and how these are to be balanced. Only the centrifugal force (which you have stated as as an imaginary or fictional force, and which I consider as an erroneous concept) is under dispute.

The capillary action is due to the interaction between solid and liquid lattices. The normal forces, namely gravitational and electrostatic interactions (the former between atoms and the latter between the subatomic particles in atoms) and the resultant balance of forces cause this phenomenon.
