Yes there is a law. I think Satchidanand posted a link also. The law makes it mandatory for the adult sons and daughters to provide for their parents. They have to pay a certain amount of money for their expenditure but they physically don't have to live with the parents. Which I think is very fair and practical because a married couple cannot possibly live with the parents of both husband and wife in the same house.

It is disturbing that even in the 21st century a woman is considered to be pariya dhan.
"When a daughter gets married and leaves the house of the father to reside with her husband, she ceases to be a member of the father's family and becomes a member of the family of the husband where she has got certain rights under the law. After marriage when she goes to the house of the parents, legally she is only a guest in the house and does not have a legal right to continue there. She can stay there as long as her parents permit her but she cannot force herself on her parents in the house."

Because of attitudes like this many women end up being like a dhobi's donkeyna ghar ka na ghat ka neither do they belong with their parents and their in laws always consider them as outsiders.

Wonder when attitudes will change.
