Couple Sues Son, Daughter-In-Law For Not Giving Them Grandchildren
An Indian couple are taking their son to court demanding that he and his wife produce either a grandchild within a year or pay $650,000.
According to NDTV, the couple, Sanjeev and Sadhana Prasad revealed that they exhausted their savings raising and educating their pilot son and paying for a lavish wedding.
“My son has been married for six years but they are still not planning a baby. At least if we have a grandchild to spend time with, our pain will become bearable,” the couple said in their petition filed with a court in Haridwar last week.
The compensation they are demanding includes the cost of a wedding reception in a five-star hotel, a luxury car worth $80,000 and paying for the couple’s honeymoon abroad.
“We also had to take a loan to build our house and now we are going through a lot of financial hardships. Mentally too we are quite disturbed because we are living alone,” the couple further said in their petition.
The couple’s lawyer, Arvind Kumar said the petition will be taken up for hearing by the court in northern India on May 17.
