An Indian, married couple is suing their son. This is because he has been married for six years and hasn’t given them a grandchild.
Sanjeev, 61, and Sadhana Prasad have filed a lawsuit against their son for $650,000 if he doesn’t have a child in the next 12 months.
They say that after utilizing their entire life-savings on their son, they want their money back. The parents claim that they spent $65,000 for him to become a pilot in the U.S. The Prasads also say that they funded his expensive wedding and honeymoon in Thailand.
“But, despite all of our efforts, my son and his wife have caused mental torture by not giving us a grandchild. The society also questions us, causing further pain,” the petition noted.
The parents have filed the suit based on “mental harassment.” They stated that having a grandchild would help them to cope.
In India, it is common to observe parents assisting or making choices for their adult child’s career or personal life. Not adhering to those choices can be perceived to be disrespect.
