Disown a son

Please suggest the procedure to disown my son. I want to disown my son and his wife as his wife is not nice to us. She is trying to build mental pressure on us and we are loosing health.


We are afraid of dowry laws as she threatens us with the name of Women cell and police. We don’t know how to proceed and save our self from her. We can easily understand from her activities that she is planning something big. She behaves well for few days and then suddenly starts doing indirect/direct things to put us under pressure. 

We cannot say anything because of society and relatives. The only easy way I was able to think is to disown them. Please suggest!

Thanks,

You can file a complaint of criminal intimidation for the threats she is giving to you. If you want to disown your son then, you give him a notice about it and also publish a notice in a local newspaper of your intention to disown your son and now you've no relationship with him.

One can disown his child legally.

Ooops...Sorry..please read "cannot"....one cannot disown his child legally by declaration.

I agree with Archana

Suchitra. S (Advocate)     19 August 2010

I do not think there is a concept of 'disowning' a child in legal sense. Yes, a parent can exclude a his son/daughter from rights of inheritance or, declare by notification that he does not have any relationship whatsoever with him/her.

I concurred with my friend Suchitra. In the Bible there is a story of prodigal Son, but now a days a new emerging trend is on the raise of disowning a son by irresponsible Father. Disowning a son is neither a part of life nor a choice and once a Father means a Father for all times, but ofcourse an irresponsible father can disown his Son and refused to be by his son's side in times of troubles, but that does not make any difference as he will be father whether he likes it or not. There is no Law of disowning a son, but ofcourse the saon can become a prodical son to his irresponsible Father.

SUCHITRA MADAM you are getting lot of appreciation on this site good going, keep it up.

Regarding disowning a son by father and daughter by mother is a psycological phenomenon prevelent from ancient ages.

Please read FEUD  for detailed descripttion  in this matter.

YES YOU CAN .

YOU CAN DO IT :-

YOU MAY LEGALLY DECLEARE YOUR SON, ' TYAJJYA PUTRA " - LEGAL PROVISION IS THERE.

I DONOT KNOW THE WHETHER ' DISOWN' IS APPROPRIATE  ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF IT OR NOT.

BY THIS WAY YOU, YOU CAN DEPRIVE HIM FROM YOUR SELF EARNED PROPERTY, BUT NOT FROM ANCESTRIAL PROPERTY.

ONE MORE THING THAT YOU CANNOT TOUCH HIS WIFE BY THIS WAY. IT IS THERE MATTER THAT WHETHER THEY WILL REMAIN UNITED OR NOT.

FOR THIS PURPOSE YOU PLEASE CONTACT A LOCAL ADVOCATE - WHO WILL UNDERSTAND YOUR MATTER.

In my experience there is nothing legally called "disowning a son / daughter" when their marital life not smooth. What maximum you can do is "ex communicate" your child based on level of mental threat you are experiencing and may be subject to in future if "ex communication" timely is not done. For the same two paper advertisement with Nortice is the procedure and aving the ful mast of the newspaper adv. for records is the logial way out (temporary).


Since from your brief it shows you are expecting trouble from DIL in future and as safety you are askign way out. But, if DIL puts charges against you (means she can still include your name in complaint case(s) you n your wife still you are not absolved visiting Courts. The only benefit from "ex communication" of your child will bring in is that when Court (legal) Notice comes to your address on your child's name you have power to refuse its acceptence citing 'ex communication" grounds and you will not be made responsible as witness on Service of such Notice etc. that is all this "ex communication" will bring as relief that also to your Son and not even to you :-)


If DIL is the biggest threat to your old age mental peace then better to sell all properties and make an FD and retire back in a unknown old age home anyhow that the son is "ex communicated" so why have emotional bonds with your son just because DIL is giving mental trouble. This is the safest and surest wayout from all mental harassments. In this case only you two need to know your whereabouts and all family members and son etc. need not know your whereabouts.


As elder in family you have more power to make sense to both your Son as well as to your DIL to mend their ways than thinking of "ex communication" which to me is a selfish thought either way but choice is all yours since you know your present sufferings better than repliers here.

wow wat an idea sirji, old age home!

can she look for relief for shared house hold under DV act??? cant so sad....


(Guest)

yes, she can

see my rpely to one of the post where DIL has Protection Order and is kicking out 15 aged as well as retired that also women (not old men and old women I am talkign here) from her MIL home given to a trust on rent claiming it to be her household.

 

1 lawyer and 2 foolish sympathiser of a bala women here will punch on me saying the DIL is on roads so what wrong if she claiming MIL rented flat for her residence.......agreed jahapanha you 1 + 2 fools here and say a MIL who has a flat that also giving on rent would not have sought rishta of a DIL below her family status for her son's marriage  ! So DIL is having residence and just to harass her MIL she is claiming residence rights. Now 1 + 2 fools here where is your further argument.....
