People like Tapan Pal are the first one who comes out on street to gain publicity by what ever way they can. This man doesn't understand the need for such legislature, it is not just providing monthly maintenance to aged parents & destitute which already exist in the form of section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code, but even protecting their property from being misused or alienated during their lifetime by their greedy children who usually do so on the misguidance from their individual spouses. The purpose of protecting the old, aged people from any sort of domestic violence against them is the second reason for such legislature. The old & aged are left unattended by their children & no one is to look after them & get them proper medical care. In order to force the children to attend the old, aged & sick parents is the third reason for such legislature. Now tell me if for the first time any central government thought to bring such legislature what harm they will be doing to the society? This man talks of why old people should depend on their children as the children never asked them to give birth to them, he talks of child in the womb never asked the mother to carry her or give him birth, etc, what utter bullshit this guy talks, he must not have born by his mother but must have dropped from skies by some passing big bird as part of her s*hit that’s why he talks all such foolish things. All sensible people should just ignore such articles & better read my answers I post here in yahoo questions which at least provide legal information & awareness to every one. By the way nice nick name you have kept, hope you are so as you call yourself!

I'm not sure what the legislation means by "provide for". If it means joint household then I'm totally against the idea, be it my parents or my in-laws.
If it means, should provide for parents financially, but this can be done by separate households, then I'm all for it.
And, the legislation should also address the issue of non-working women - the work they do at home is not paid in money. How can she provide for her parents? Her parents have spent as much as a boy's parents on bringing her up.
coming to the letter writer, yes, I agree with him. It is every body's job to save for their old age. Spend on kids only what you can while also saving for your own old age. If you take huge loans and enroll them in the best colleges, do it for your satisfaction. Later, do not turn around and expect a "return on investment". Love your child, nurture him/her, then let them fly free into the world. Let them marry, live peacefully, and enjoy some privacy in their homes without insisting on moving in with them. And children, too, should remember their moral obligation and support their parents as much as they can.
The most preferable situation is where each nuclear family lives by itself, maybe nearby, meet often, but do not share the same household. All the mother-in-law /daughter-in-law problems will go away, once each has her own little castle to be a queen of.

parents bring up there children, they provide every need, lots of love, food, shelter, clothes, education etc..they sacrifise alot for many years , so yes when children are grown they should take care of there parents, When your parents become elderly that is when they need you the most. " Honor Thy Mother and Father " appreciate what your parents have done for you all your life, NO PERSON is disposable.

i think taking care of ur parents is our moral responsibility n not a legal one. every child has a right to live his/her own life but he/she also should make sure that their parents should get proper respect love n care in the evening of their life.. i don't think parents are only dependent on their children for money.relations in India are allways seen as bonding between hearts n are not bound in any legal chains.everyone has to become old one day. our parents brought us with lots of hard work n sacrifices n not to forget with never ending love that we get as long as they are with us. so when they become old its the turn of their children to take proper care of our parents n give them the best that we can n make them happy as much as we can.

such a stupid man! we all have to get old one day. so better learn to respect and look after the old. our parents brought us up with so much difficulty, why can't we look after them too?

duh? then again maybe he had bad parents. not all of us are lucky to have good parents. however making it mandatory to take care of them would be a nice idea. that way, we won't see old people who are neglected. as Catholics it is part of our upbringing to honor our moms and pops.
