Parents sue son for not giving them a grandchild, claim ‘mental harassment’
A couple in India is suing their only son and his wife for not producing a grandchild after six years of marriage.
Sanjeev and Sadhana Prasad, 61 and 57, of the Indian state of Uttarakhand filed the lawsuit on May 7 on the grounds of “mental harassment”…
Welcome to the 21st century!
The couple is demanding US$650,000 in compensation, should a grandchild not be born in the next year.
Force people to procreate or face a lawsuit.
Has it started to come to that now.
…the parents claim they arranged the marriage to his wife.
“We finally got him married in 2016 with the hope that we would get a grandchild to play with in our retirement age,” the father told the Times of India. “However, almost six years have passed and there is no child. We are facing immense mental harassment.”
From whom? Your son? You should be suing the people who ARE harassing you, not your son/daughter-in-law.
The couple added their daughter-in-law’s career, which they claim causes her to reside in a different city than her husband, also causes them “immense pain.”
Once again, welcome to the 21st century.
The parents’ lawyer also told the Times of India this lawsuit is “the first of its kind” in the province, and is likely the first in all of India as well.
“From the parents’ point of view, their demand is justified,” the lawyer, Arvind Srivastava, said. “Their expectations are not wrong.”
Their demand is unjust, and their expectations on the current generation is completely WRONG!
