It is her dearest wish to become a grandmother and a woman from India even goes to court for this.
The Indian woman from the city of Haridwar in the north of the country has sued her son and daughter-in-law because they have no children.
The plaintiff is asking the court that her son and his wife have a child within a year or instead pay compensation of 50 million rupees ($700,000), multiple Indian media reported.
The woman argued that the couple was mentally torturing her with her childlessness.
The plaintiff also justified the lawsuit by saying that she raised her only son with a lot of love - and always spent a lot of money on him.
She would have financed pilot training in the USA or contributed 500,000 rupees (6131 euros) for his honeymoon in Thailand.
However, the couple had moved to another Indian city and had broken off contact with the plaintiff and her husband.
When she asked the couple to have a child, the two said they had split up.
In India, many married couples still live with the husband's parents.
Many families expect the couples to have children.
