An Indian man has been dragged to court by his parents for not fulfilling their wish by giving them grandchildren even though he has been married for six years.
The parents, Sanjeev and Sadhana Prasad sued their son for payback because they have exhausted their savings raising the young man and ensuring he gets an education.
The Times of India reports that in a suit filed last week, the couple is demanding the sum of $650,000 (N270m) from their son and his wife or alternatively, the couple should them a grandchild in the space of a year.
In a petition submitted in court, the couple said; “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”.
It was also gathered that Sanjeev and Sadhana Prasad are going through tough times and they want to be paid the money they expended on their son’s honeymoon abroad as well as the cost of a wedding reception in a five-star hotel.
Arvind Kumar, counsel to the parent’s said the filed petition will be heard in an Indian court on 17th May
