What are the options??

Hello everyone

This is about a friend who is the only daughter of her parents.
Last year her husband lost his job here and they returned to India.But unfortunately within a month or so of her return my friend lost her mother.
After her mother's death she has not been in good relations with her father.Her father must be close to 65 yrs old now.
Recently my friend's father fell sick.He had to be hospitalised.It is then that everyone realised that her father needed somebody to constantly look after him.No not that hes bedridden.Hes pretty much fit.But after his wife's death he has been living alone.Doctors found out that he was not eating well and neither was he taking his medicines properly.In all he is not interested in living any more.He doesnt want a domestic help too.
But his daughter refuses to come and stay with him.Because her children are going to a school near her in laws house.
So everyone in their family asked my friend's father to get remarried.The daughter is dead against it.She says she cant see another woman in place of her mother.And if at all she agrees it'll be after all the property and gold is given to her.
I heard she recently took her mother's gold and took a gold loan on it.And she claims the gold to be hers.And all the property including the house where my friend's father lives is in her mother's name.So now she wants all the property to be tranferred in her name.
I am shocked at her reaction.I really dont know if shes doing it for the property or if shes doing it to prevent her father from getting remarried.
But my heart still goes out to her father who is all alone and doesnt have anyone to look after him.


PS:
My friend is also my relative

 

Hmmm
You are right.Love marriage is not a possibilty at this age.Specially when hes showing signs of depression.
I am not even sure he'll agree for a remarriage.
But my friend has already started behaving rudely to her father.She and her husband have been rude to him on several occassions recently.
I Wish there was a solution to all this.

 

Thanks prettydee.
My guess is that my friend's father doesnt trust my friend's husband.
My friend's husband has started a new business recently.And he need funds.Long back he had sold all my friend's jewellery for starting a business for his father.
I think they should have respected the fact that my friend's father gave away all his wife's jewellery when my friend's husband needed money to start a new business.
My friend's father doesnt want to tranfer all the property in her name because he thinks they might sell it and finally he might not be left with anything.

 

So true.
But he hardly visits his relatives these days.And nobody is sure if he should be allowed to go on a teerth yatra all by himself.He has been practising yoga for a long time now.

But i am shocked to see how life takes a U-turn.....all of a sudden.
But then on a second thought these are times when men understand the importance of a wife in their lives.

 

GG
I know what you said is the sad truth of life.
And it hurts.
