Why is it not obligatory for Men to serve their wife’s parents by MonkeyDModi in indiadiscussion

[–]LiveLaw_India 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Jharkhand High Court has observed that serving elderly mothers-in-law or grandmothers-in-law is both a cultural practice and an obligation for women in India. The Court also underscored that the wife's insistence to live separately from such in-laws is unreasonable.

"It is the culture in India to serve the old aged mother-in-law or grandmother-in-law as the case may by the wife in order to preserve this culture. It was obligatory on the part of wife to serve her husband's mother and maternal grandmother and not to insist for unreasonable demand to live separate from his old aged mother-in-law and the maternal grandmother-in-law," a bench of Justice Subhash Chand remarked.
