Forget about the law, you have a Dharma, and put such question to yourself when you become old.  More ethical than any other legal matter, as even court may not support your contention.   It is not monetary that is required in advanced age, it is physical and moral support which can not be measured in financial terms.

Well said GLN Prasad.

 

Legally also, kindly note that as per Law of Torts, Son is liable to maintain and take care the Parents in their old age, notwithstanding whether any assets are passed or not. Even if your parents have not given you any assets, it is your bounden duty to look after them.

Okay if there are more than one sibiling how to handle it. Its an embarrassing problem, which need to be settled through family meetings. But not through Courts or discussions in open forums like this.

 

In fact, parents can file a case against the child/children for taking care of them. Of course, such cases are few and far between. But it is a sustainable case and Parents shall win, if they are alive by the time Judgement is given.

Section 125 in The Code Of Criminal Procedure, 1973

under section 125 of crpc and the welfare of senior citizen and parents act 2007 the parents can claim maintenance and property right

The agricultural land was partitioned between father and sons. The portion that father got in the partition and income generated from it is source of income for the father and mother. If the income is not sufficient for the parents, then they can seek further amount of maintenance from their so children under section 125 CrPC and the Welfare of Senior Citizen and Parents Act. To say it's moral duty of children to maintain their parents is concerned, this concept looks good in moral science books, in old age, children are not even ready to talk with parents, leave aside maintaining them.

It's not the question whether parents have income or not. Point us whether they can take care of themselves. Having income and not able to look after themselves too is a good cause if action.

Sir,

What in case of a parent who has not done their due deligence as parent in the first place? Suppose, a parent (man / woman) gives birth to a child and child is looked after by someone else thorughout. Say, a father, played only biological role in the existance of the child and thereafter never did any of his own duties as a father?

Now, when the same child is earning handsomly, ignorant parten(s) demands maintenacne under the virtue of law.
