An Indian couple filed a lawsuit in North India court against their son and daughter-in-law as they did not bring a grandson to the parents during their six years of marriage.
The couple are demanding that their successors give birth to a child within a year or repair them in the amount of $ 650,000 for the mental anguish and all the hassle they have invested in their son so far.
Parents Sanjib and Sadhana Persed invested everything in their son.
They funded a pilot course for him in the United States and when he returned from his studies home to India they also held a very lavish wedding for him which also included buying a luxury car and a honeymoon overseas.
The couple assumed, of course, that their multiple investment in their son and wife would pay off and produce a grandson who would fill them with pride and happiness.
However, time passed and it turns out that the two newlyweds showed a little less interest in continuing the dynasty and bringing a child into the world.
So six whole years passed and the couple got tired, so they filed a lawsuit against their son and daughter-in-law in the North India court with the following demand: either they will give birth to a grandson within a year or instead they will compensate the parents in the amount of $ 650,000.
"I very much understand their pain and I feel very sorry for them because I am also an Indian," prosecutors' lawyer Arwind Sariusta said.
As mentioned the debate in the trial has not yet started but it is already sparking a lively discourse in India on the question of what children are committed to their parents both spiritually and legally.
However it is difficult to see, in the opinion of experts, a ruling of the court against the son.
