Supreme Court Says - Hindu Son Can Divorce Wife If She Tries To Separate Him From Aged Parents

Who will take care of the parents of the daughter especially in case of only daughters family? How is this fact completely overlooked by this rotten society...
Living in two different homes where h can live with his parents and w can live with her parents and children..they can meet frequently..will this work in a marriage?

 

I still don't understand this concept of DILs looking after the ailing/aged PILs?

In my country, there is no rule, no social system that says it is DIL's responsibility. It does rather says children should look after their ailing/aged parents.
Like in India, we too have a very close familial bonding, that lasts even after the marriage of the children.
Parents, specially the widowed/single parents living on their own or living in collective accommodation like elders' home are very rare here. Unless these elders are childless or abandoned.
Otherwise, the obvious choice for all the aged parents is to live with their children.

Now that, looking after the parents' is their children's responsibility. Since parents take extra care to look after their kids, we owe to do the same for our parents.

It naturally makes the daughters to be the care-takers of the parents as they become old. The daughter who stays in the city /country where parents live. Sometimes the daughter who requires parents support during the initial days of her marriage (Child birth, looking after the kids etc), would want to do the favor when parents require her support back.

Since not all the women earn an income, it is rather recommended that the sons takes financial responsibilities of the parents. They share a portion of their income to the parents as monthly allowance, in which the parents try to lessen the financial burden of the daughters (if at all) caused by their stay.
Not like paying a monthly rent or PG arrangement. But something like contributing to daughter's grocery shopping, buying toys for DD's kids etc...
Moreover, with that financial allowance, parents would be financially independent to cover their medical or other personal expenses.
If both son's and daughters work, they share the burden.

Since they live with daughter, there is no force on the SNIL to take care of his PILs.
Since they live with daughter, DIL is not required to do any favors to her PILs either.

Having old parents at home is not just a responsibility. It is rather a great support for working women, specially if they have kids.

Here, i feel the system is balanced.

 

And this is how Live in cases rises.

 

Parliament can challenge or nullify this if it comes with another law or contradiction to oppose this law in line with the constitutional rights of Indian citizen.

I wonder how long this law will stay put without any amendements suggestions.

 

What about the son's parents who try to separate him from his wife? Since the society enables them to get away with everything, they continue to abuse the DIL and wreck havoc in their son's married life. Such a sad state of affairs in our country!!

 

Already more divorce are happening due to inlaw issues and they are making it more legal now. Soon there may be a law which says - Indian guys can divorce Indian wives if they cannot withstand his beatings with a smiling face.

 

but this is a thought to ponder why we women are so afraid of divorce while men are not...

 

wow wonderful law. now all the boys and inlaws can easily gang up against the girl and say she is against them and separating husband from his parents. such a valid reason to go for divorce.
total shame for passing this law

 

Yes.. i am one of the best examples for this.

 

What will supreme court say if parents tries to separate their son from his wife. A friend of mine suffers this. The guys parents separated husband and wife for dowry.
